Answer

$F_2 = 0.140~N$

Work Step by Step

We can find the angular acceleration: $\omega = \omega_0+\alpha~t$ $\alpha = \frac{\omega - \omega_0}{t}$ $\alpha = \frac{250~rad/s - 0}{1.25~s}$ $\alpha = 200~rad/s^2$ We can write a general expression for the torque about the center: $\tau = r\times F = r~F~sin~\theta$ $r$ is the displacement vector from the pivot to the point where the force is applied $F$ is the force vector $\theta$ is the angle between these two vectors We can find the magnitude of $F_2$: $\tau = I~\alpha$ $R~F_2~sin~90^{\circ}-R~F_1~sin~90^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2~\alpha$ $F_2-F_1 = \frac{1}{2}MR~\alpha$ $F_2 = \frac{1}{2}MR~\alpha+F_1$ $F_2 = \frac{1}{2}(0.0200~kg)(0.0200~m)~(200~rad/s^2)+(0.100~N)$ $F_2 = 0.140~N$
