The moment of inertia of a wheel about its transverse axis is $2 \ kg \cdot m^2$ and it is rotating at $60 \ rpm$ about that axis. The torque required to stop the wheel in one minute is:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{12} \ N \cdot m$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{15} \ N \cdot m$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{18} \ N \cdot m$
  • D
    $\frac{2\pi}{15} \ N \cdot m$

$A$ wheel of radius $0.4 \,m$ can rotate freely about its axis as shown in the figure. $A$ string is wrapped over its rim and a mass of $4 \,kg$ is hung. An angular acceleration of $8 \,rad \,s^{-2}$ is produced in it due to the torque. Then, the moment of inertia of the wheel is $(g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2})$.
