so please solve it?
it was found the the winding radius of a tape on a cassette was reduced by half in time t1 = 20. in what time will the winding radius will be reduced by half again?

Infact, not a rotational problem, But simple maths you can use.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you

1)Sorry for (something like) spamming.
2)The blog has been around for an year now. That gives you about a 100 thumping good problems if you scan the archives.
3)Try the blog. I would have.
4)Hi Anirudh:
The volume rate of removal of the tape is constant (assume this). Now, loss in volume in the 2nd case is 1/4 of the volume loss in the 2nd case. This yields the answer 1/4*t.
The reasonable assumption is that the length of tape is reduced at a constant rate.
Since the thickness of the spool is also constant, this means the area is reduced at a constant rate.
In 20 s the area is reduced from A to A/4 , a reduction of 3A/4
Next, the reduction in area is 3A/16 which will take 1/4 X 20 = 5s
