The correct option is (C)

The equation of rotational motion for constant angular acceleration is given by

ω_f = ω_i + αt

⇒ α = \(\frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}\)

Where,

ω_f = final angular velocity
ω_i = initial angular velocity
α = angular acceleration
t = time taken to reach final angular velocity from initial angular velocity.

Taking the clockwise direction as -ve and counterclockwise as +ve.

Given,

Initial angular velocity of the fan, ω_i = – 60 rad/s

final angular velocity of the fan, ω_f = – 110 rad/s

Time taken, t = 2 sec

Using the equation of rotational motion, angular acceleration (α) of the fan, is given by

α = \(\frac{(-110)-(-60)}{2}\) = – \(\frac{50}{2}\)

⇒ α = – 25 rad/sec²

Negative sign shows that the angular acceleration of the fan is in the clockwise direction.

Hence, the angular acceleration of the fan is 25 rad/sec² in clockwise direction.
