The flywheel of a steam engine begins to rotate from rest with a constant angular acceleration of 1.33 rad/s2. It accelerates for 23.5 s, then maintains a constant angular velocity. Calculate the total angle through which the wheel has turned 48.7 s after it begins rotating.
[tex]\omega = \omega _ o + \alpha t[/tex]
[tex]\omega = 0 + 1.33(23.5)[/tex]
[tex]\omega= 31.26[/tex]
[tex]31.26 = \Delta \theta / \Delta t[/tex]
Solving for [tex]\theta[/tex] gave me 1522.1 rad
which wasn't right.. can someone please help me?
