Explanation:
We must remember the principle of conservation of energy which tells us that energy is transformed from one way to another. For this case, the initial kinetic energy is transformed into useful work that is equal to the product of force by distance.
First of all, we need to convert the angular speed from rev/min into rev/s:
The angular acceleration is the variation of angular speed divided by the time:
And this is constant, so we can use the following equation to calculate the angle through which the engine has rotated:
so, 5 revolutions.
