The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular


Estimate each part of following problem given below:

Problem: The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular speed of 116 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the bearings and the air brings the wheel to rest in 2.0 h.

Part I: What is the magnitude of the constant angular acceleration of the wheel?

Part II: How many rotations does the wheel make before coming to rest?

Part III: What is the magnitude of the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a particle that is located at a distance of 44 cm from the axis of rotation when the flywheel is turning at 58 rev/min?

Part IV: What is the magnitude of the net linear acceleration of the particle in the above question?

Please show each and every step in detail for help.
