Problem

A uniform circular plate of radius 0.40 m0.40\,\text{m} pivots freely about its center. A 25 N25\,\text{N} force is applied tangentially at the rim, causing the plate to rotate 0.600.60 revolutions in the clockwise direction. Taking counterclockwise as the positive sense, calculate the work done on the plate by the force. Include the correct sign and give your answer in joules.
