  1. A wheel having moment of inertia 2 kg-m² about its vertical axis, rotates at the rate of 60 rpm about this axis. The torque which can stop the wheel’s rotation in one minute would be
    1. π
      N - m
      18
    2. N - m
      15
    3. π
      N - m
      12
    4. π
      N - m
      15
Correct Option: D

τ × ∆t = L0
{∵ since Lƒ = 0}
⇒ τ × ∆t = Iω
or, τ × 60 = 2 × 2 × 60π/60

τ =
π
N-m
