MCQ
The instantaneous angular position of a point on a rotating wheel is given by the  equation $\theta (t) = 2t^3-6t^2$. The torque on the wheel becomes zero at $t=$ ....... $\sec.$
  • $1$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $0.25$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$
a
Given $: \theta(t)=2 t^{3}-6 t^{2}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta}{\mathrm{dt}}=6 \mathrm{t}^{2}-12 \mathrm{t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \theta}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}}=12 \mathrm{t}-12$

Angular acceleration, $\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} \theta}{\mathrm{dt}^{2}}=12 \mathrm{t}-12$

When angular acceleration $(\alpha$ ) is zero, then the torque on the wheel becomes zero

$(\because \tau=\mathrm{I} \alpha)$

$\Rightarrow 12 t-12=0$ or $t=1\,s$
