As we learnt in

Analogue of second law of motion for pure rotation -

$\vec{\tau }=I\, \alpha$

- wherein

Torque equation can be applied only about two points

(i) centre of motion.

(ii) point which has zero velocity/acceleration.

$\int \tau{}.d\theta=0$

$\tau{}=(20t-t^{2})\times 2=40t-10t^{2}$

$I\alpha=40t-10t^{2}$

$\alpha=\frac{40t-10t^{2}}{10}=4t-10t^{2}$

$\alpha=\frac{d\omega}{dt}$

$d\omega{}=\alpha.dt$

$=>\int d\omega=\int_{0}^{t}(4t-t^{2})dt$

$=4\int_{0}^{t}t\ d t-\int_{0}^{t}t^{2}dt$

$\omega=2t^{2}-\frac{t^{3}}{3}$

$\omega$ is zero at $2t^{2}-\frac{t^{}3}{3}=0$

$\Rightarrow\ \;2t^{2}=\frac{t^{3}}{3}$

t = 6 sec

$\theta=\int_{0}^{6} {\omega}dt$

$\Rightarrow\ \;\int_{0}^{6} \left ( 2t^{2}-\frac {t^{3}}{3} \right ) dt=36\ rad$

No. of revolution $\frac{36}{2\pi}$ less than 6
