An electric motor can accelerate a Ferris wheel of moment of inertia I = 18500 kg·m2 from rest to 10.1rev/min in 12.0 s. When the motor is turned off, friction causes the wheel to slow down from 10.1 to 8.1 rev/min in 10.0s.
1. Decide the torque generated by the motor to bring the wheel to 10.1 rev/min.
2. Decide the power that would be required to maintain this rotational speed.
