A water wheel with radius Rw = 1.8 m and mass Mw = 1.3 x 10³ kg is used to power a grain mill next to a river. Treat the water wheel as a hollow cylinder. The rushing water of the river rotates the wheel with a constant frequency fr = 1.4 Hz. Rw = 1.7 m Mw = 17 x 10³ kg fr = 2.2 Hz Calculate the angular velocity ωw of the water wheel in radians/sec.

A water wheel with radius Rw = 1.2 m and mass Mw = 1.9 x 10^3 kg is used to power a grain mill next to a river. Treat the water wheel as a hollow cylinder. The rushing water of the river rotates the wheel with a constant frequency fr = 2.6 Hz. A. Calculate the angular velocity ωw of the water wheel in radians/sec. B. Calculate the kinetic energy Kw, in J, of the water wheel as it rotates. C. Assume that every second, 20% of the kinetic energy of the water wheel is transmitted to the grain mill. Calculate the power Pw in W of the grain mill based on the energy it receives from the water wheel.

Water drives a waterwheel (or turbine) of radius $R = 3.0 m$ as shown in Fig. 8-66. The water enters at a speed $\upsilon_1 = 7.0 m/s$ and exits from the waterwheel at a speed $\upsilon_2 = 3.8 m/s$. $(a)$ If 85 kg of water passes through per second, what is the rate at which the water delivers angular momentum to the waterwheel? $(b)$ What is the torque the water applies to the waterwheel? $(c)$ If the water causes the waterwheel to make one revolution every 5.5 s, how much power is delivered to the wheel?
