A wheel is subjected to uniform angular acceleration about it’s axis, Initially at rest
if in first 3 seconds it rotates through angle θ1. In next 3 seconds, it rotates through
angle θ2. Find the ratio of θ2/ θ1.
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
Given: ω 0 = 0
Let angular acceleration = α
27
θ2 = θ – θ = 36 9
2 α – 2 α = 2 α

θ1 = 9/2 α θ2 = 27/2 α
θ2 27 α/2 θ2
∴ ∴ = 3
