Constant Angular Acceleration: A machinist turns on the power on to a grinding wheel at time t = 0 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly from rest for 10 s and reaches the operating angular speed of 96 rad/s. The wheel is run at that angular velocity for 40 s and then power is shut off. The wheel slows down uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. For how long a time after the power is shut off does it take the wheel to stop?

A. 64 s B. 62 s C. 66 s D. 68 s E. 70 s
