PROBLEM 17.52
The rotor of an electric motor has a mass of 25 kg, and it is observed that 4.2 min is required for the rotor to
coast to rest from an angular velocity of 3600 rpm. Knowing that kinetic friction produces a couple of

average magnitude of the couple due to kinetic friction in the bearings
of the motor.
