The 60 kg flywheel has a radius of gyration about its
center of mass of k_(O)=230mm. It rotates with a
constant angular velocity of 1300re(v)/(m)in before the
brake is applied. (Figure 1)

Part A
If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the brake pad B and the wheel's rim is \mu _(k)=0.5, determine the constant force P that must
be applied to the braking mechanism's handle in order to stop the wheel in 50 revolutions.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
P=
