    A wheel is rotating at\[900\,\,rpm\]about its axis. When the power is cut off it comes to rest in\[1\min \]. The angular retardation in\[rad/{{s}^{2}}\]is

    A)

    B) \[\pi /2\]                             

    C) \[\pi /6\]                                             

    D) \[\pi /8\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[n=900\,\,rpm=\frac{900}{60}rps=15\,\,rps\] \[\therefore \]  \[t=1\min =60s\] From equation of angular motion, we have                 \[\omega ={{\omega }_{0}}-\alpha t\] \[\therefore \]  \[\omega =2\pi n-\alpha t\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[0=2\pi (15)-\alpha (60)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\alpha =\frac{30\pi }{60}=\frac{\pi }{2}rad/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\pi /4\]
