Answer

$1.8\times 10^{3}rad$

Work Step by Step

Angular velocity $\omega=120 rad/s$ and angular acceleration $a =4 rad/sec^{2}$. Let angular displacement before stopping be $\Delta\theta$. Time taken to stop is $30sec$ (from $\omega_{f}=\omega_{i}+at$) [ ..as found from previous question]. So, by rotaional kinematics equation: $\Delta\theta=\omega_{i}t+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$ We get:$0=0.5*4*30*30$ => $s=1800 rad=1.8\times10^{3}rad$
