Question: A 6 0 . 0 kg grindstone is a solid disk 0 . 5 1 0 m in diameter. You press an ax down on

A 60.0 kg grindstone is a solid disk 0.510 m in diameter. You press an ax down on the rim with a normal force of F =180 N (Figure 1). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blade and the stone is 0.60, and there is a constant friction torque of 6.50 Nm between the axle of the stone and its bearings.
Part A
How much force must be applied tangentially at the end of a crank handle 0.500 m long to bring the stone from rest to 120 rev/min in 7.00 s?
Part B
After the grindstone attains an angular speed of 120 rev/min, what tangential force at the end of the handle is needed to maintain a constant angular speed of 120 rev/min?
Part C
How much time does it take the grindstone to come from 120 rev/min
to rest if it is acted on by the axle friction alone?
