(e) A torque
to tighten a bolt consists of a force being applied at a distance from the axis of rotation.
given byAs the bolt gets tighter, it gets harder and harder to turn the bolt, so the torque as a function of angle is
, where C is some constant with appropriate units. If the total work done by applying
this torque through two complete revolutions is 1500. J, then find C.
