Physics

A wheel free to rotate about its axis that is not frictionlessis initially at rest. A constant external torque of +53 N·m isapplied to the wheel for 21 s, giving the wheel an angular velocityof +624 rev/min. The external torque is then removed, and the wheelcomes to rest 120 s later. (Include the sign in your answers.)

(a) Find the moment of inertia of the wheel.

(b) Find the frictional torque, which is assumed to beconstant.
