  1. The moment of inertia of a body about a given axis is 1.2 kg m². Initially, the body is at rest. In order to produce a rotational kinetic energy of 1500 joule, an angular acceleration of 25  radian/sec² must be applied about that axis for a duration of
    1. 4 seconds
    2. 2 seconds
    3. 8 seconds
    4. 10 seconds
Correct Option: B

I = 1.2  kg m², Er = 1500 J,
α = 25 rad/sec², ω1 = 0, t  = ?

As Er =
1
Iω², ω = √
2Er
2I

= √
2 × 1500
= 50 rad/sec
1.2

From ω2 = ω1 + αt
50 = 0 + 25 t, t = 2 seconds
