Homework Statement
A uniform circular disc at rest has mass 10 kg and radius 0.2m. When a force of 10 N is applied tangentially to the disc for 10s, calculate the angular velocity. Given the moment of inertia, I=1/2 mr^2
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Using rF=I(alpha) , alpha = 10 rad/s^2 after substituting r=0.2 , m=10 , F=10
Then, using the rotational formulas,
w = w0 + at (w is meant to be omega)
w = 0+ (10)(10) = 100 rad /s
but the answer given is 10 rad/s .
