Homework Statement



A 6kg disk with radius 0.3m initially not spinning. String is wrapped around disk, you pull with constant force of 25N through a distance of 0.6m. What is its angular speed.

Homework Equations



Krotational=1/2 I w2




The Attempt at a Solution



I can't seem to figure this out. I found moment of inertia no problem (0.27), but I am stuck there. I can't seem to relate Force and Distance to angular speed.
