11.4 Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 2.5

A 4.0-kg particle moves in a circle of radius 2.0 m. The angular momentum of the particle varies in time according to l=5.0t2.l = 5.0 t^{2} . (a) What is the torque on the particle about the center of the circle at t=3.4st = 3.4 \text{s}? (b) What is the angular velocity of the particle at t=3.4st = 3.4 \text{s}?
