System of Particles and Rotational Motion - Result Question 25

25. An automobile moves on a road with a speed of 54 kmh1. The radius of its wheels is 0.45m and the moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis of rotation is 3kgm2. If the vehicle is brought to rest in 15s, the magnitude of average torque transmitted by its brakes to the wheel is:

[2015 RS]

(a) 8.58kgm2s2

(c) 2.86kgm2s2

(b) 10.86kgm2s2

(d) 6.66kgm2s2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 25. (d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Given : Speed v=54kmh1=15ms1

Moment of inertia, I=3kgm2

Time t=15s

ωi=vr=150.45=1003

[Given ωf=0 ]

ωf=ωi+αt

0=1003+(α)(15)α=10045

Average torque transmitted by brakes to the wheel,

τ=(I)(α)=3×10045=6.66kgm2s2
