    Intial angular velocity , ω₀ = 0 [because flywheel moves from rest ]
    final angular velocity, ω = 1000 rpm = 1000/60 rev/sec
    Time taken , t = 6 sec

    We know, the formula,
    ω = ω₀ + αt
    Where α is angular acceleration.
    1000/60 = 0 + α6
    α = 1000/360 = 100/36 = 25/9 rev/s²

    Now, use formula
    θ = ω₀t + 1/2αt²
    = 0 + 1/2 × 25/9 × (6)²
    = 1/2 × 25/9 × 36
    = 1/2 × 25 × 4
    = 50 rev

    Ans : v = u + at
    1000/60 = 0 + 6a
    a = 2.78
    S = ut +. 5at^2
    = 0 +. 5 * 2.78 * 36
    = 50
