    When a ceiling fan is switched off its angular velocity reduces to 50% while it makes 36 rotations.  How many more rotation will it make before coming to rest (Assume uniform angular retardation)                                  [KCET 2001]

    A)             18

    B)                      12

    C)             36       

    D)             48

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    By using equation\[{{\omega }^{2}}=\omega _{0}^{2}-2\alpha \theta \]             \[{{\left( \frac{{{\omega }_{0}}}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\omega _{0}^{2}-2\alpha (2\pi n)\]Þ\[\alpha =\frac{3}{4}\frac{\omega _{0}^{2}}{4\pi \times 36}\], (n = 36) ..(i)             Now let fan completes total n¢ revolution from the starting to come to rest             \[0=\omega _{0}^{2}-2\alpha (2\pi {n}')\] Þ \[{n}'=\frac{\omega _{0}^{2}}{4\alpha \pi }\]             substituting the value of a from equation (i)             \[{n}'=\frac{\omega _{0}^{2}}{4\pi }\frac{4\times 4\pi \times 36}{3\omega _{0}^{2}}=48\]revolution             Number of rotation = 48 ? 36 = 12
