Question

The instantaneous anglular position of a point on a rotating wheel is given by the equation θ(t) = 2t3 - 6t2. The torque on the wheel becomes zero at

Options

A.t = 1 s
B.t = 0.5 s
C.t = 0.25 s
D.t = 2 s

Solution

Given θ(t) = 2t3 - 6t2
∴     = 6t2 - 12t
     = 12t - 12
Angular acceleration, α = = 12t - 12
When angular acceleration (α) is zero, than the torque on the wheelbecomes zero       (∵ = Iα)
⇒     12t - 12 = 0     or,      t = l s
