### Rotational Dynamics Problem Set

A solid disk with a mass of 7.0 kg and a radius of 30 cm gradually increases its rotational speed from 45 revolutions per minute (rpm) to 120 rpm over a period of 5.0 seconds. Analyze the following questions based on this scenario:

3. **Find the angular acceleration in rad/s².**

4. **Calculate the number of revolutions the disk completes in these 5.0 seconds.**

5. **Determine the change in rotational kinetic energy.**

6. **Calculate the moment of inertia of the disk in kg·m².**

7. **Find the magnitude of torque needed to achieve the change in rpm.**

8. **Calculate the tangential acceleration of a point \( P \) on the outer rim of the disk.**

#### Diagram Explanation

The accompanying diagram illustrates a solid disk. The disk has a radius \( R \) and rotates about its center. It shows the angular velocity \( \omega \) and angular acceleration \( \alpha \). Point \( P \) is marked on the outer rim, indicating the location where tangential acceleration needs to be calculated.
