    Answer:

    Acceleration is -10.57 rad/s²  

    Time is 6 seconds

    Explanation:

    a)

    u=900rpm= 94.248 rad/s  

    v =300rpm= 31.416 rad/s  

    s=60 revolutions= 377 rad  

    v²= u²+ 2as  

    31.416² = 94.248²+ 2 * a * 377  

    a = v²-u² / 2s

    a= -10.57 rad/s²  

    b)

    Using 1st equation of motion

    v-u/a = t

    Putting the values

    t = (31.4 - 94.2)/-10.57

    t = 6 seconds
