Question

A 50.0-kg grindstone is a solid disk 0.520 m in diameter. You press an ax down on the rim with a normal force of 160 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blade and the stone is 0.60, and there is a constant friction torque of 6.50Nm6.50 \mathrm { N } \cdot \mathrm { m } between the axle of the stone and its bearings. How much time does it take the grindstone to come from 120 rev/min to rest if it is acted on by the axle friction alone?

Concepts and Principles

Rotational Acceleration α\alpha: The average rotational acceleration α\alpha (alpha) of a rotating rigid body (sometimes called angular acceleration) is its change in rotational velocity Δω\Delta \omega during a time interval Δt\Delta t divided by that time interval:

α=ΔωΔt\begin{gather*} \alpha = \dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} \tag{1} \end{gather*}

The unit for rotational acceleration is (rad/s)/s=rads/2\mathrm{(rad/s)/s}=rads/^2.
