Question

The moment of inertia of a body about a given axis is $$1.2\,kg\,{m^2}.$$  Initially, the body is at rest. In order to produce a rotational kinetic energy of $$1500\,joule,$$   an angular acceleration of $$25\,radian/{\sec ^2}$$   must be applied about that axis for a duration of

A. 4 seconds
B. 2 seconds  
C. 8 seconds
D. 10 seconds
Answer :   2 seconds
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & I = 1.2\;kg\;{m^2},{E_r} = 1500\;J, \cr & \alpha = 25\,rad/{\sec ^2},{\omega _1} = 0,t = ? \cr & {\text{As}}\,{E_r} = \frac{1}{2}I{\omega ^2},\omega = \sqrt {\frac{{2{E_r}}}{I}} \cr & = \sqrt {\frac{{2 \times 1500}}{{1.2}}} = 50\,rad/\sec \cr & {\text{From}}\,{\omega _2} = {\omega _1} + \alpha t \cr & 50 = 0 + 25t,t = 2\,{\text{seconds}} \cr} $$
