Uniformly Accelerated Rigid Body Rotation

A rigid body undergoes uniformly accelerated rotation about a fixed axis. The angular acceleration is $\alpha = 2.0 \text{ rad/s}^2$, and the initial angular velocity at $t=0$ is $\omega_0 = 4 \text{ rad/s}$.

  1. What is the angular velocity of the rigid body at $t = 3 \text{ s}$?
  2. How many revolutions does the rigid body turn through in the first $3 \text{ s}$?
  3. At $t = 3 \text{ s}$, what are the linear velocity and centripetal acceleration of a point $10 \text{ cm}$ from the axis of rotation?
