1.How much torque is required to accelerate a phonograph album (75-g, 30-cm diameter 33.3 rpm) at 3-rad/sec2


2. T=I(alpha)



3. Sorry i have to idea on this one I am completely lost!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
[tex]\tau = I\alpha[/tex] as you stated.
You are given [tex]\alpha = 3 \theta s^{-1}[/tex]
So just multiply by moment of inertia.

Hint: For a disc it's [tex]I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2[/tex]
 
Well the fact that I don't own a physics book and My teacher only gives us equations with variables for numbers and variables for more numbers and only gives examples of when used in real life. i would say that at least that is teaching me something thanks rake it helped me get that problem done on to the next one that was easy b/c of your help
