The moment of inertia of a flywheel is \( 0.2 k g m^{2} \) which is initially stationary. constant external torque \( 5 N m \) acts on the wheel. The work done by this torque during 10 sec is:
- \( 1250 J \)
- \( 2500 J \)
- \( 5000 J \)
- \( 6250 J \)
Correct answer: \( 1250 J \)
Solution
A constant torque produces a constant angular acceleration, so the wheel’s angular displacement in 10 s can be found from rotational motion equations. The work done by the torque is then W = τθ, which gives 1250 J.
