A solid disk with a radius of 8 m and mass of 6 kg is rotating on a frictionless surface. If 960 W of power is used to increase the disk's rate of rotation, what torque is applied when the disk is rotating at 25 Hz?

"6.1 Nm" of Torque is applied on disc.

Explanation:

"Power = Torque × Angular Velocity"

"Torque" = "Power" / "Angular Velocity" = ("960 Watt") / ("2 π × 25 Hz") = "6.1 Nm"
