The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant

Chapter , Problem 26

(choose chapter or problem)

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular velocity of 150 rev/min.When steam is shut off,the friction of the bearings and of the air stops the wheel in 2.2 h. (a) What is the constant angular acceleration, in revolutions per minute-squared, of the wheel during the slowdown? (b) How many revolutions does the wheel make before stopping? (c) At the instant the flywheel is turning at 75 rev/min, what is the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a flywheel particle that is 50 cm from the axis of rotation? (d) What is the magnitude of the net linear acceleration of the particle in (c)?
