Problem

A grindstone is spinning freely at 40 rad s−140\,\text{rad\,s}^{-1}. The motor is switched off and the stone experiences a steady angular deceleration of 4 rad s−24\,\text{rad\,s}^{-2} until it stops. (i) Find the angular displacement of the grindstone before it comes to rest and express your answer both in radians and in complete revolutions. (ii) Calculate the time interval required for the grindstone to come to a halt.
