Back to 10.8 Work and Power for Rotational Motion

10.8 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

A propeller is accelerated from rest to an angular velocity of 1000 rev/min over a period of 6.0 seconds by a constant torque of 2.0×103N·m2.0 \times 10^{3} \text{N} \cdot \text{m}. (a) What is the moment of inertia of the propeller? (b) What power is being provided to the propeller 3.0 s after it starts rotating?
