A flywheel of mass 196 kg has an effective radius of 0.620 m (assume that the mass is concentrated along a circumference located at the effective radius of the flywheel). What constant torque is required to bring the wheel from rest to an angular speed of 149 rev/min in a time interval of 30.0 s?
Angular speed, acceleration and displacement
Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change in angular velocity with respect to time. It has both magnitude and direction. So, it is a vector quantity.
Angular Position
Before diving into angular position, one should understand the basics of position and its importance along with usage in day-to-day life. When one talks of position, it’s always relative with respect to some other object. For example, position of earth with respect to sun, position of school with respect to house, etc. Angular position is the rotational analogue of linear position.
