A uniform-density 8 kg disk of radius 0.25 m is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle. Initially it is not spinning. A string is wrapped tightly around the disk, and you pull on the string with a constant force of 41 N through a distance of 0.9 m. Now what is the angular speed

Explanation:

moment of inertia of the disc I = 1/2 m r²

= .5 x 8 x .25²

= .25 kg m²

The wok done by force will be converted into rotational kinetic energy

F x d = 1/2 I ω²

F is force applied , d is displacement , I is moment of inertia of disc and ω

is angular velocity of disc

41 x .9 = 1/2 x .25 ω²

ω² = .25

ω = 17.18  rad / s
