Problema Solution

A wheel initially at rest, is rotated with a constant acceleration of 4 rad/s2 for 15s. The wheel is then brought to rest in 25 rev by applying a constant decelaration. Find the decelaration and the time it takes to bring the wheel to a stop from its maximum speed.

Answer provided by our tutors

constant acceleration = 4 rad/sec^2

so the velocity of the wheel after 1 seconds of acceleration= acceleration * time

                                                                                 = 60 rad/ sec

we know 1 radian = pi/ 180

so 2 pi radian = 1 revolution

so 25 revolutions = 50 pi radian

                         = 50*22/7 rad

so theta = 50*22/7

do deceleration = ((initial velocity(60 rad/sec))^2)/2* theta

so deceleration = 3600*7/(2*50*22)

 decceleration = 11.455 rad/sec^2
