The M.I. of a body about the given axis is 1.2 kg m21.2 \text{ kg m}^2. Initially, the body is at rest. In order to have a rotational kinetic energy of 1500 J, an angular acceleration of 25 rad/s225 \text{ rad/s}^2 must be applied about that axis for a duration of:

A

4 sec

B

2 sec

C

8 sec

D

10 sec

Step-by-Step Solution

Given: Initial angular velocity, ω0=0\omega_0 = 0 Moment of inertia, I=1.2 kg m2I = 1.2 \text{ kg m}^2 Rotational kinetic energy, K=1500 JK = 1500 \text{ J} Angular acceleration, α=25 rad/s2\alpha = 25 \text{ rad/s}^2

The rotational kinetic energy is given by: K=12Iω2K = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 1500=12×1.2×ω21500 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times \omega^2 1500=0.6ω21500 = 0.6 \omega^2 ω2=15000.6=2500\omega^2 = \frac{1500}{0.6} = 2500 ω=50 rad/s\omega = 50 \text{ rad/s}

Using the kinematic equation for rotational motion: ω=ω0+αt\omega = \omega_0 + \alpha t 50=0+25×t50 = 0 + 25 \times t t=5025=2 st = \frac{50}{25} = 2 \text{ s}
