- The rotor of an electric motor has an angular velocity of 3600 rpm when the load and power are cut off. The 120-lb rotor, which has a centroidal radius of gyration of 9 in., then coasts to rest. Knowing that kinetic friction results in a couple of magnitude 2.5 lb·ft exerted on the rotor, determine the number of revolutions that the rotor executes before coming to rest.arrow_forwardThe 80-mm-radius gear shown has a mass of 5 kg and a centroidal radius of gyration of 60 mm. The 4-kg rod AB is attached to the center of the gear and to a pin at B that slides freely in a vertical slot.
