The moment of inertia of a wheel about its transverse axis is $2 \ kg \cdot m^2$ and it is rotating at $60 \ rpm$ about that axis. The torque required to stop the wheel in one minute is:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{12} \ N \cdot m$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{15} \ N \cdot m$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{18} \ N \cdot m$
  • D
    $\frac{2\pi}{15} \ N \cdot m$
