Problem

A solid disk has a moment of inertia of

0.25\,\text{kg}\cdot\text{m}^2

. If a constant

1.5\,\text{N}\cdot\text{m}

torque acts on the disk in the clockwise direction, what is the resulting angular acceleration? a)

3.0\,\text{rad/s}^2

clockwise b)

6.0\,\text{rad/s}^2

clockwise c)

6.0\,\text{rad/s}^2

counterclockwise d)

0.17\,\text{rad/s}^2

clockwise
