A rigid body rotates about a fixed axis with a variable angular velocity equal to \(\alpha-\beta t,\) at the time \(t,\) where \(\alpha, ~\beta\) are constants. The angle through which it rotates before its stops is:

3. \(\frac{\alpha^{2}-\beta^{2}}{2\beta}\)
4. \(\frac{(\alpha-\beta) \alpha}{2}\)

An automobile moves on a road with a speed of 54 kmh${}^{-1}$. The radius of its wheel is 0.45 m and moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis of rotation is 3 kg m${}^2$. If the vehicle is brought to rest in 15s, the magnitude of average torque transmitted by its brakes to the wheel is
