Please give me a hint on what should I follow in order to solve the problem I am stuck and have no clue :confused:

A grindstone in the shape of a solid disk with diameter 0.530 and a mass of = 50.0 is rotating at = 830 . You press an ax against the rim with a normal force of = 260 , and the grindstone comes to rest in 7.80 .

Find Coefficient of friction between the axe and the grinding stone.

Do you know any rotational dynamics, specifically kinematic equations of such?
 
Well this is what I know

K= 1/2 M(Vcm)^2 + 1/2 (Icm) W^2

Since the center of mass is not moving then?

K=1/2 (Icm) W^2?
