# GATE Mechanical 2014 Set 3 | Question: 37

A four-wheel vehicle of mass $1000 \: kg$ moves uniformly in a straight line with the wheels revolving at $10 \: rad/s$. The wheels are identical, each with a radius of $0.2 \: m$. Then a constant braking torque is applied to all the wheels and the vehicle experiences a uniform deceleration. For the vehicle to stop in $10 \: s$, the braking torque (in $N.m$) on each wheel is______
