A fan is rotating with an angular speed $300 \mathrm{rpm}$. The fan is switched off, and it takes $80 \mathrm{~s}$ to come to rest. Assuming constant angular deceleration, the number of revolutions made by the fan before it comes to rest is
  1. 400
  2. 200
  3. 300
  4. 314

Solution

As $\omega=\omega_0+\alpha \mathrm{t}$ $ \begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \mathrm{f}=\mathrm{f}_0+\frac{\alpha}{2 \pi} \mathrm{t} \\ & \Rightarrow 0=5+\frac{\alpha}{2 \pi} \times 80 \\ & \Rightarrow \alpha=-\frac{10 \pi}{80}=-\frac{\pi}{8} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}^2 \end{aligned} $ So, $\theta=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\pi}{8} \times 80^2$ $ =400 \pi $ No. of revolution $=\frac{400 \pi}{2 \pi}=200$
