Angular velocity with time varying moment

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding angular velocity in the context of time-varying moments. The original poster expresses confusion about how to approach the problem, knowing only the basic formula for angular velocity. Respondents suggest reviewing concepts like moment of inertia, angular acceleration, and torque, emphasizing the need for integration in the solution process. The poster realizes that integrating the momentum equation and considering inertia leads to the correct solution. This exchange highlights the importance of foundational physics concepts in solving complex problems.

Hi there,

I have been given this question, and I have not even the slightest of clue's where to start.

I know angular velocity is equal to ω=v/r

But besides that I have no idea.

Where can I start?

How is it that you have been given a problem that you have no clue how to solve? Is this for a class?
 
Have you studied the terms 'moment of inertia', 'angular acceleration', or 'torque' yet?
 
Here are two clues:
1) You don't need mb.
2) You need to perform an integration.
 
Please note that I have changed the thread title to make it more descriptive of the subject matter. This is a requirement for the Homework sections of Physics Forums. The thread was moved here (because it is a homework type question) from a section where thread title requirements are not so stringent.

Ah right I got you guys, thanks for the help. It didn't click to me initially that if i integrate the momentum equation and multiply by 1/Inertia I should get the solution.

Thanks!
