Homework Statement
The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg m[tex]^{2}[/tex] about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.800 kg m[tex]^{2}[/tex]/s in 1.50 s. a) What is the magnitude of the average torque acting on the flywheel about its central axis during this period? b) Assuming a constant angular acceleration, through what angle does the flywheel turn?
Homework Equations
[tex]\tau[/tex] = I[tex]\alpha[/tex] ?
The Attempt at a Solution
a) Part a is easy. Torque equals final momentum minus initial momentum over the time. The answer is -1.47 N
b) Part b is what I need help with. As a hint, what equations should I look at or try to combine?
