Question
A flywheel rotates with uniform angular acceleration. If its angular velocity increases from `20pi` rad/s to `40pi` rad/s in 10 seconds. Find the number of rotations in that period.
Solution
Given,
Initial angular velocity ω0 = 20 π rad/s
Final angular velocity ω = 40 π rad/s
Time t = 10 s
Solution:
Angular acceleration α = `(ω−ω_0)/t` = `(40π –20π)/10`
α = 2π rad/s2
According to the equation of motion for rotational motion
`theta = omega_0t + 1/2alphat^2 = 20pi xx 10 + 1/2 2pi xx 100 = 300pi` rad
The number of rotations = n = `theta/(2pi)`
n = `(300pi)/(2pi)` = 150 rotations.

A flywheel used to prepare earthenware pots is set into rotation at 100 rpm. It is in the form of a disc of mass 10 kg and a radius 0.4 m. A lump of clay (to be taken equivalent to a particle) of mass 1.6 kg falls on it and adheres to it at a certain distance x from the center. Calculate x if the wheel now rotates at 80 rpm.
