A uniform cylindrical grinding wheel of mass 50.0 kg and diameter 1.0 m is turned on by an electric motor. The friction in the bearings is negligible. What torque must be applied to the wheel to bring it from rest to 120 rev/min in 20 revolutions?

The torque must be applied to the wheel is 15.7 N-m.  

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the wheel of cylinder, m = 50 kg

Diameter of the wheel, d = 1 m

Radius, r = 0.5 m      

Initial speed off the wheel is 0

Final angular speed of the wheel, 120 rev/min = 12.56 rad/s

Angular displacement,

The torque is given by :

So, the torque must be applied to the wheel is 15.7 N-m.
