Question
When a ceiling fan is switched off its angular velocity reduces to 50% while it makes 36 rotations.  How many more rotations will it make before coming to rest (Assume uniform angular retardation)  
Options:
A .  18
B .  12
C .  36 
D .  48
Answer: Option B
:
B
By using equation ω2 = ω02 - 2 αθ
ω022 = ω02 - 2α(2πn) α = 34 ω024π×36 , (n = 36) ..(ii)
Now let fan completes total n revolution from the starting to come to rest
0 = ω02 - 2α(2πn) n = ω024απ
substituting the value of α from equation (i)
n = ω024π 4×4π×363ω02 = 48 revolution
Number of rotation = 48 - 36 = 12
