Question: A torque of ( 3 6 . 2 mathrm { ~N } cdot mathrm { ~m } ) is applied

A torque of \(36.2\mathrm{~N}\cdot \mathrm{~m}\) is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result of a directed force combined with a friction force. As a result of the applied torque the angular speed of the wheel increases from 0 to \(9.5\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{s}\). After 5.80 s the directed force is removed, and the wheel comes to rest 59.8 s later.
(a) What is the wheel's moment of inertia (in \(\mathrm{kg}\cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\))?
\(\times \mathrm{kg}\cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\)
(b) What is the magnitude of the torque caused by friction (in \(\mathrm{N}\cdot \mathrm{m}\))?
\(\times N \cdot m \)
(c) From the time the directed force is initially applied, how many revolutions does the wheel go through?
\( x \) revolutions
A torque of \ ( 3 6 . 2 \ mathrm { ~N } \ cdot \
