Homework Statement
A student gets his car stuck in a snow drift. Not at a loss, having studied physics, he attaches one end of a stout rope to the vehicle and the other end to the trunk of a nearby tree, L = 12.2 m away, allowing for a small amount of slack, W = 0.400 m. The student then...

A shaft is turning at 73.8 rad/s at time zero. Thereafter, its angular acceleration is given by
a = -10.1 rad/s2 - 4.44 t rad/s3.
where t is the elapsed time. Calculate its angular speed at t = 2.58 s
Homework Equations
1/2(Angular accel formula)+ 73.8t+0= theta...
