Somehow, an ant is stuck to the rim of a bicycle wheel of diameter 1 m. While the bicycle is on a central stand, the wheel is set into rotation and it attains the frequency of 2 rev/s in 10 seconds, with uniform angular acceleration. Calculate:
- The number of revolutions completed by the ant in these 10 seconds.
- Time is taken by it for first complete revolution and the last complete revolution.
