### Problem Statement

A grindstone in the shape of a solid disk with a diameter of 0.520 m and a mass of 50.0 kg is rotating at 850 rev/min. You press an axe against the rim with a normal force of 160 N (see below), and the grindstone comes to rest in 7.50 s. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the axe and the grindstone. There is negligible friction in the bearings.

### Diagram Description

The diagram below illustrates the described scenario:

- A grindstone is depicted as a solid disk.
- The grindstone has a mass labeled as \( m = 50.0 \, \text{kg} \).
- The diameter of the grindstone is \( 0.520 \, \text{m} \).
- An external force \( F = 160 \, \text{N} \) is applied to the rim of the grindstone by an axe.
- The grindstone is initially rotating at \( \omega = 850 \, \text{rev/min} \).

The grindstone comes to rest due to the frictional force between the axe and the grindstone over a time period of 7.50 seconds. The goal is to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction.

### Analyzing the Diagram

- The solid disk represents the grindstone.
- An arrow indicating force \( F \) of 160 N is shown applied perpendicular to the surface of the grindstone where the axe meets the rim.
- Rotational motion is indicated by an arrow showing the direction of rotation (\( \omega \)).

### Key Variables

- \( m \) = 50.0 kg (mass of the grindstone)
- \( d \) = 0.520 m (diameter of the grindstone)
- \( r \) = 0.260 m (radius of the grindstone, \( r = \frac{d}{2} \))
- \( \omega \) = 850 rev/min (initial angular speed)
- \( F \) = 160 N (normal force applied by the axe)
- \( t \) = 7.50 s (time taken for the grindstone to come to rest)

### Required Calculation

Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction (\( \mu_k \)) between the axe and the grindstone.
