A torque of 13 N # m is applied to the rectangular object shown in FIGURE 11-42. The torque can act about the x axis, the y axis, or the z axis, which passes through the origin and points out of the page.

(a) In which case does the object experience the greatest angular acceleration? The least angular acceleration? Explain. Find the angular acceleration when the torque acts about

(b) The x axis,

(c) The y axis,

(d) The z axis.
