A centrifuge rotor rotating at 10,000 rpm about an axis through its center of mass is shut offand eventually brought to rest by a frictional torque of magnitude 1.20 N.m. If the rotor has amass of 4.80 kg and if it can be approximated as a uniform disk of radius 7.10 cm, then(a) what is the moment of inertia of the rotor about an axis through its center of mass?(b) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the rotor? (c) Through how manyrevolutions will the rotor turn before coming to rest, and how long will it take? Include adiagram of the situation.
