A flat disc on the top of a rough, horizontal table with coefficient of friction μ is being rotated with angular velocity ω o .
How long will the disc rotate (in seconds) before coming to rest?
First, generalize, and then plug in the following values for the answer: ω o = 1 0 radian/s , R = 4 m , μ = 0 . 3 , g = 1 0 m/s 2 , M = 4 kg .

@Md Zuhair – Actually its a common problem .( its in irodov as well)
@Md Zuhair – great ..... i had previouly done a "rod" and "cone" version of it.

Assuming uniform mass distribution,
π R 2 M = r d θ d r d m ⇒ d m = π R 2 M r d θ d r
Now, since d τ = μ d m g r = π R 2 μ M g r 2 d θ d r ,
∴ τ = ∫ d τ = ∫ 0 2 π d θ ∫ 0 R π R 2 μ M g r 2 d r = R 2 2 μ M g ( 3 R 3 ) = 3 2 μ M g R
Using τ = I α
α = I d i s c τ = 3 R 4 μ g
as I d i s c = 2 M R 2 . Finally,
ω 0 = 3 R 4 μ g t ⇒ t = 4 μ g 3 ω 0 R
Evaluating at the given values, we get t = 1 0 s. As you can see, stoppage time is independent of mass.

Lets take an elemental part at distance x from center whose width is d x .
So Mass of elemental part d m = π R 2 M 2 π x d x
So d N = d m g
⟹ d N = π R 2 M g 2 π x d x [Normal reaction of the element]
d F = π R 2 M g μ 2 π x d x [Friction on the element]
Then Torque due to friction which stops it is
d F . x = π R 2 M g μ 2 π x 2 d x
⟹ d τ = π R 2 M g μ 2 π x 2 d x
Integrating from 0 → R we get
⟹ ∫ 0 τ d τ = ∫ 0 R π R 2 M g μ 2 π x 2 d x
τ = 3 R 2 2 M g μ R 3
τ = 3 2 M g μ R
I α = 3 2 M g μ R
α = 3 I 2 M g μ R
Now by equation of rotation we know
0 = ω o − α t
α ω o = t
⟹ 3 I 2 M g μ R ω o = t
Now for disc, I = 2 1 M R 2
Putting it we get
⟹ 4 g μ 3 ω o R = t
⟹ t = 4 g μ 3 ω o R
Putting values we get
t = 1 0 s
