Question

A wheel free to rotate about its axis that is not frictionless is initially at rest. A constant external torque of +54 N·m is applied to the wheel for 17 s, giving the wheel an angular velocity of +510 rev/min. The external torque is then removed, and the wheel comes to rest 120 s later. (Include the sign in your answers.) (a) Find the moment of inertia of the wheel. kg·m^2 (b) Find the frictional torque, which is assumed to be constant. N·m

Step 1

The conversion factor is \(2\pi\) radians per revolution and there are 60 seconds in a minute. The given angular velocity is \(+510\) rev/min. \[ \text{Angular velocity} = 510 \times \frac{2\pi}{60} \text{ rad/s} \] \[ \text{Angular velocity} = 85\pi \text{ Show more…
