The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the relationship between torque, moment of inertia, angular acceleration, and angular velocity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information**: - A torque \( T \) acts on a body. - The moment of inertia of the body is \( I \). - The initial angular speed of the body is \( \omega \). - The body comes to rest after some time \( t \). 2. **Relating Torque and Angular Acceleration**: - The relationship between torque \( T \), moment of inertia \( I \), and angular acceleration \( \alpha \) is given by the equation: \[ T = I \alpha \] - Since the torque is acting in the opposite direction to the angular velocity (as the body is coming to rest), we can express angular acceleration as: \[ \alpha = -\frac{T}{I} \] 3. **Using Kinematic Equation for Angular Motion**: - The final angular velocity \( \omega_f \) when the body comes to rest is 0. We can use the kinematic equation for angular motion: \[ \omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t \] - Substituting \( \omega_f = 0 \) and \( \omega_i = \omega \): \[ 0 = \omega - \alpha t \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \alpha t = \omega \] - Thus, \[ t = \frac{\omega}{\alpha} \] 4. **Substituting for Angular Acceleration**: - We already found that \( \alpha = -\frac{T}{I} \). Substituting this into the equation for time: \[ t = \frac{\omega}{-\frac{T}{I}} = -\frac{I \omega}{T} \] - Since time cannot be negative, we take the absolute value: \[ t = \frac{I \omega}{T} \] 5. **Final Result**: - The time taken for the body to come to rest is: \[ t = \frac{I \omega}{T} \] ### Conclusion: The correct answer to the question is \( t = \frac{I \omega}{T} \).
