The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numerical values 2.75 (for A) and 1.50 (for B). (a) What are the units of A and B if w, is in rad/s

Answer:


A \to rad/s


B \to rad/s^3

Step-by-step explanation:


\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:


\omega_z(t) \to rad/s

This implies that each of
A and
Bt^2 will have the same unit as
\omega_z(t)

So, we have:


A \to rad/s


Bt^2 \to rad/s

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes


B * s^2 \to rad/s

Divide both sides by
s^2


B \to (rad/s)/(s^2)


B \to rad/s^3
