    A ball is spun with angular acceleration α=6t2−2t\alpha = 6t^{2}- 2t where tt is in second and α\alpha is in rads−2rads^{- 2}. At t=0t = 0, the ball has angular velocity of 10 rads−1rads^{- 1} and angular position of 4rad4rad. The most appropriate expression for the angular position of the ball is:

    A circular disk of radius RR meter and mass M kgM\text{ }kg is rotating around the axis perpendicular to the disk. An external torque is applied to the disk such that θ(t)=5t2−8t\theta(t) = 5t^{2}- 8t, where θ(t)\theta(t) is the angular position of the rotating disc as a function of time tt. How much power is delivered by the applied torque, when t=2 st = 2\text{ }s ?
