Answer:
τ = 15.76 N-m
Step-by-step explanation:
For rigid bodies, the net external torque acting on a rotating body, is equal to the product of the moment of inertia about its rotation axis, times the angular acceleration of the body, as follows:
Since I is a given of the question, we need to find out the angular acceleration.
By definition, the angular acceleration is the rate of change of the angular velocity with respect to time:
α = Δω/Δt = (ωf-ω₀) / (tfi-t₀)
Since ω₀ = 0, and choosing t₀ =0, as tfi is a given, we need just to find out ωf.
We have this value in rev/min, so we need first to convert it to rad/sec, as follows:
Replacing in the definition of α, we have:
α = 17.9*π rad/sec / 6.78 s = 8.29 rad/sec²
Replacing I and α in (1), we finally get:
τ = 15.76 N-m.
