Rotation with Variable Angular Acceleration

A body that rotates according to the relation α=2t where α is in rad/sec2 and t in seconds. ω=4
rad/sec and θ=0 and t=0.

A. Compute the value of ω at the instant when t=2 sec.

B. The value of θ at the instant when t=2 sec.

Solution:
A) Value of ω at the instant t=2 sec

α =2 t
dω
α=

dω=2 tdt

ω=t 2+C
4=0+C
C=4

ω=t 2+C

ω=( 2)2 +4
ω=8 rad / sec answer

B) Value of θ at the instant when t=2 sec.
