A disc of mass 25 kg and radius 0.2 m is rotating at 240 r.p.m. A retarding torque brings it to rest in 20 second. If the torque is due to a force applied tangentially on the rim of the disc then the magnitude of the force is

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{2} \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(2 \pi \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(\pi \mathrm{N}\)
  4. D \(4 \pi \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\pi \mathrm{N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega_0 = 240 \cdot \frac{2\pi}{60} = 8\pi \text{ rad/s}\) \(|\alpha| = \frac{|\omega - \omega_0|}{t} = \frac{|0 - 8\pi|}{20} = \frac{2\pi}{5} \text{ rad/s}^2\)
