Chapter 17.5, Problem 89P

If the powder burns at a constant rate of 20 g/s such as that the exhaust gases always exert a force having a constant magnitude of 0.3 N, directed tangent to the wheel determine the angular velocity of the wheel when 75% of the mass is burned off initially, the wheel is at rest and has a mass of 100 g and a radius of r = 75 mm. For the calculation, consider the wheel to always be a thin disk.
