Data : $\tau=20 \mathrm{~N} . \mathrm{m}, \mathrm{t}=2 \pi \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{M}=10 \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{R}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$ Let $\mathrm{f}_1$ and $\mathrm{f}_2$ be the initial and final frequencies of rotation of the discr and $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ be its initial and final angular speeds. Since the disc was initially stationary, $f_1=\omega_1,=0$ and $\omega_2=2 \pi f_2$. The $\mathrm{Ml}$ of the disc about the given axis is $ I=\frac{M R^2}{2}=\frac{10 \times(0.2)^2}{2}=0.2 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2 $ Torque, $\tau=I \alpha$ Angular acceleration, $\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{20}{0.2}=100 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}^2$ Now, $\omega_2=\omega_1+\alpha \mathrm{t}=0+\alpha \mathrm{t}$ $ \begin{aligned} & \therefore 2 \pi f_2=\alpha t \\ & \therefore \mathrm{f}_2=\frac{\alpha t}{2 \pi}=\frac{100(2 \pi)}{2 \pi}=100 \mathrm{~Hz} \end{aligned} $

The frequency of revolution of a particle performing circular motion changes from $60 \mathrm{rpm}$ to $180 \mathrm{rpm}$ in 20 seconds. Calculate the angular acceleration of the particle.
A flywheel of mass $4 \mathrm{~kg}$ and radius $10 \mathrm{~cm}$, rotating with a uniform angular velocity of $5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$, is subjected to a torque of $0.01 \mathrm{~N}$.m for 10 seconds. If the torque increases the speed of rotation, find (i) the final angular velocity of the flywheel (ii) the change in its angular velocity (iii) the change in its angular momentum (iv) the change in its kinetic energy.
