Answer

$-14.8 \frac{rad}{s^2}$. 1.52 s.

Work Step by Step

Apply Newton’s second law for rotations. First find the moment of inertia. $$I=\frac{2}{5}(0.225kg)(1.50\times10^{-2}m)^2=2.025\times10^{-5}kg\cdot m^2$$ Calculate the angular acceleration. $$\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}$$ $$\alpha=\frac{-(0.0200N) (1.50\times10^{-2}m)}{I}=-14.81\frac{rad}{s^2}$$ This angular acceleration tends to slow down the rotation because it is a frictional torque. Find the time. $$t=\frac{\Delta \omega}{\alpha}=\frac{-22.5 rad/s}{-14.81\frac{rad}{s^2}}=1.52 s$$
