Homework Statement
If a circular saw blade is spinning at a rate of 6.57 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the (constant) angular acceleration that needs to be applied on the saw blade to bring it to rest in 17.2 revolutions?
Relevant Equations
theta = no of revs * 2pi
w^2=2a(theta)
I tried the formula I showed up there but got 0.399 instead of 7.88rad/s^2.

What number did you use for w?

Yup, it is given in revolutions per second.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
