A top-loading washing machine has a cylindrical tub that rotates about a vertical axis. The tub of one such machine starts from rest and reaches an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s in 7.0 s. The lid of the machine is then opened, which turns off the machine, and the tub slows to rest in 11.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn during this 18 s interval? Assume constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping.
