Question

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular speed of 112 rev/ min . When steam is shut off, the friction of the bearings and the air brings the wheel to rest in 2.2 h. What is the magnitude of the constant angular acceleration of the wheel in rev/min22? Do not enter the units.

How many rotations does the wheel make before coming to rest?

What is the magnitude of the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a particle that is located at a distance of 40 cm from the axis of rotation when the flywheel is turning at 56.0 rev/ min?

What is the magnitude of the net linear acceleration of the particle in the above question?

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
