Question:

A 250-kg flywheel is at rest when a constant 300 N ⋅ m couple is applied at time t = 0. At t = 28 s the flywheel reaches its rated speed of 3000 rpm and the couple is removed. Assuming that the kinetic friction results in a constant couple of magnitude 12.5 N ⋅ m, determine

(a) The radius of gyration of the flywheel,

(b) The time at which the flywheel comes to rest.
