Question 12





The tub of a washer goes into its spin cycle, starting from rest wi = and gaining angular speed steadily for t = s, at which time it is turning at wf = rev/s. At this point, the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safety switch turns off the washer. The tub smoothly slows to rest in 12.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn while it is in motion?
