Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 6250 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given the moment of force (torque) \(\tau = 10 \text{ Nm}\), moment of inertia \(I = 5 \text{ kg m}^2\), and time \(t = 25 \text{ s}\). The angular acceleration \(\alpha\) is given by \(\tau = I \alpha\). \(\alpha = \dfrac{\tau}{I} = \dfrac{10}{5} = 2 \text{ rad/s}^2\). Since…
