Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 N⋅m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0 kg⋅m2. Assume that the platform is initially at rest and the torque is applied for 12.0 rotations. Neglect friction.   How much work W does the motor do on the platform during this process? Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.
