A fan rotating at 90 rpm stops in 21 rotations under constant frictional torque. The time taken is

A21 s
B14 s
C28 s
D42 s
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 28 s
1. Initial angular speed ω₀ = 2π(1.5) = 3π rad/s; final ω = 0. 2. Angle covered θ = 2π(21) = 42π rad. 3. Using α = (ω−ω₀)/t = (ω²−ω₀²)/(2θ): (0−3π)/t = (0−9π²)/(84π). 4. Solving gives t = 28 s. _Source: Maharashtra Balbharati Std XII Physics, Ch 1 "Rotational Dynamics" §1.2.1_
