Question: Q 1 ) . A heavy flywheel, rotating initially at 2 4 2 0 rpm was allowed to slow down to 1 2 4 2

Q1). A heavy flywheel, rotating initially at 2420 rpm was allowed to slow down to 1242 rpm in 9.2 min due to air and bearing friction, and was then brought to rest from this speed by the application of a brake which caused an angular deceleration of \(1.25\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\). Calculate the total time in minutes and the total number of revolutions made in coming to rest from the initial speed of 2420 rpm .
Q2). During a test on a large boring mill, its circular worktable, revolving in a horizontal plane, was observed to accelerate from rest at the rate of \(0.25\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\) for 26 s , then rotate at constant speed for 95 s before coming to rest after a period of retardation lasting 22 s . Determine the total number of revolutions made by the worktable during the test.
Q3). A spin-dryer with a load of washing rotates at 255 rpm until the power is turned off. It takes 2.5 min for it to come to rest. Given that the mass moment of inertia of loaded spin-dryer is \(1.82\mathrm{~kg}.\mathrm{m}^{2}\), calculate the friction torque responsible for bringing the dryer to rest.
Q4). A cast-iron pulley, 1.3 m in diameter, has a mass moment of inertia of \(47.5\mathrm{~kg}\cdot \mathrm{~m}^{2}\), and average resistance torque of \(45\mathrm{~N}.\mathrm{m}\). When accelerating from rest, the pulley is subjected to constant belt tensions of 810 N and 430 N on tight and slack sides of the belt respectively. Determine how long it takes to accelerate the pulley to 1425 rpm .
Q5). Determine the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel shown in the diagram below if the material is steel. The density of steel is \(8050\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\).
