1 A turntable is rotating at \(3 \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). The turntable is then accelerated so that after 4 revolutions it is rotating at \(12.4 \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). Assuming that the angular acceleration of the turntable is constant,

1. find the angular acceleration,
2. find the time taken to increase its angular speed from \(3 \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) to \(12.4 \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\).
