$A$ pulley of radius $2 \ m$ is rotated about its axis by a force $F = (20t - 5t^2) \ N$ (where $t$ is measured in seconds) applied tangentially. If the moment of inertia of the pulley about its axis of rotation is $10 \ kg \cdot m^2$,the number of rotations made by the pulley before its direction of motion is reversed is:

$A$ 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 $(g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2})$.
