    A sphere of mass 2 kg and radius 5 cm is rotating at the rate of 300 rev/min. Then the torque required to stop it in 2si revolutions is

    A)  \[\text{1}.\text{6}\times \text{1}{{0}^{\text{5}}}\text{ N}-\text{m}\]   

    B)  \[\text{1}.\text{6}\times \text{1}{{0}^{-\text{4}}}\text{ N}-\text{m}\]

    C)  \[2.5\times \text{1}{{0}^{-3}}\text{ N}-\text{m}\]          

    D)   \[2.5\times \text{1}{{0}^{-2}}\text{ N}-\text{m}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     From equation of rotational motion, we have    \[{{\omega }^{2}}=\omega _{0}^{2}=2\alpha \theta \]                   ... (i) where \[\omega \] is angular velocity, \[\alpha \] the angular acceleration and \[\theta \] the angular displacement. Also,      \[\omega =2\pi f\]                          ... (ii) Where \[f\] is number of revolutions. From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get For         \[\omega =0\] (sphere stop),                 \[\theta =2\pi \times 2\pi =4{{\pi }^{2}}\], \[\therefore \]  n = 300 rev/min                 \[=\frac{300}{60}=5\] rev/s \[\therefore \]  \[0={{(2\pi \times 5)}^{2}}-2\alpha \,\,{{(2\pi )}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\alpha =\frac{100{{\pi }^{2}}}{8{{\pi }^{2}}}=12.5\] rad/s Torque applied \[\tau =I\alpha \]where \[I\] is moment of inertia, a the angular acceleration. For a sphere, \[I=\frac{2}{5}m{{R}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]                  \[\tau =\frac{2}{5}m{{R}^{2}}\alpha \] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tau =\frac{2}{5}\times 2\times {{(5\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{2}}\times 12.5\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\tau =2.5\times {{10}^{-2}}N-m\].
