A twine-spooling operation at a gift-wrap factory uses a motorized wheel of 7 cm radius
and 500 gram mass to wind twine onto spools. One such wheel is rotating at 1400 rpm
when the motor’s power supply fails, and friction starts to slow the wheel. By the time the
workers realize what has happened, 119.3 m of string have been improperly wound and the
wheel is turning at a rate of 1050 rpm.
a) What is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration provided by friction?
b) How long did it take for the wheel to slow to 1200 rpm?
c) By the time the wheel stops, how much string will need to be unwound from the spool?Â
