- Amachine part has the shape of solid cylinder aof mass 500 g, diameter of 4.00 cm and length of 10,0 cm. It is spinning about a frictionless axle through its coaxial center, but its rim is scraping against metal, resulting in a friction force of 0.0375 N at that point. The moment of inertia of a solid cylinder rotating about its coaxial center is 1= mr?. If it takes the solid cylinder 3.00 s to %3D decrease its angular speed to 7.5 rad/s, what was the initial radial acceleration of the cylinder at a point on its rim?

Consider the case where the wheel start from rest and accelerates uniformly under the action of a constantly applied torque of 0.5 N-m exerted by a force at the edge of the wheel. The torque is caused by the bicycle chain acting at a radius of 11.5 cm from the center of the wheel. (a) How long does the wheel take to reach a speed of 10 rev/min? (b) Through how many revolutions does it turn while accelerating?
