Question
The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant
of 150 rev/min.When steam is shut off, the friction of the bearings
and of the air stops the wheel in 2.2 h. (a) What is the constant
acceleration
the slowdown? (b) How many revolutions does the wheel make before
stopping? (c) At the instant the flywheel is turning at 75 rev/min, what
is the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a flywheel particle
that is 50 cm from the axis of rotation? (d)What is the magnitude
of the net linear acceleration of the particle in (c)?

- Answer the question in full details, thank you very much: The tub of a washer goes into its spin cycle, starting from rest and gaining angular speed steadily for 8.21 s,when it is turning at 4.99 revolutions/s. At this point the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safetyswitch turns off the washer. The tub smoothly slows to restin 11.6 s.
