A thin, massless string is wrapped around a 0.25m radius grindstone supported by bearings that produce negligible frictional torque. A steady tension of 20 N in the string causes the grindstone to move from rest to a speed of 60 rad/s in 12s. The moment of inertia of the grindstone is A) 1.0 kg · m² B) 2.0 kg · m² C) 3.0 kg · m² D) 4.0 kg · m² E) 5.0 kg · m²
