QUESTION:

Unless otherwise stated, in the following problems we assume that the gravitational force is constant with \(g=9.81\ m/sec^{2}\) in the MKS system and \(g=32\ ft/sec^{2}\) in the U.S. Customary System.

A rotating flywheel is being turned by a motor that exerts a constant torque 𝑇 (see Figure 3.10 on page 116). A retarding torque due to friction is proportional to the angular velocity \(\omega\). If the moment of inertia of the flywheel is 𝘭 and its initial angular velocity is \(\omega_{0}\), find the equation for the angular velocity \(\omega\).

as a function of time. [Hint: Use Newton’s second law for rotational motion, that is, moment of inertia ⨯ angular acceleration = sum of the torques.]
