    for the first 50%

    Final velocity = v = u/2

    distance = s = 36pid

    initial velocity = u

    Use v^2 = u^2 + 2as

    u^2/4 = u^2 + 72pida

    -3u^2/4 = 72pida

    -3u^2 = 288pida

    -3u^2/288pid = a

    -u^2/96pid = a

    .

    for the final 50%

    U = u/2

    V= 0

    A = -u^2/96pid

    use V^2 = U^2 + 2AS

    0 = u^2/4 - 2Su^2/96pid

    -u^2/4 = -2Su^2/96pid

    S = (-u^2/4)*96pid/2u^2 = 96pid/4 = 12pid

    and pid = 1 rev

    S = 12 revolutions = Answer
