Answer

$\tau = 1.12\times 10^4~N\cdot m$

Work Step by Step

We can find the angular speed: $\omega = (320~rev/min)(\frac{2\pi~rad}{1~rev})(\frac{1~min}{60~s}) = 33.51~rad/s$ We can find the angular acceleration: $\alpha = \frac{33.51~rad/s}{6.70~s}$ $\alpha = 5.00~rad/s^2$ We can find the required torque: $\tau = I~\alpha$ $\tau = \frac{1}{3}ML^2~\alpha$ $\tau = (\frac{1}{3})(110~kg)(7.80~m)^2~(5.00~rad/s^2)$ $\tau = 1.12\times 10^4~N\cdot m$
