Question

Two wheels with fixed axles, each have the same mass M, but wheel 2 has twice the radius of wheel 1. Each is accelerated from rest with a force applied as shown. In order to impart identical angular accelerations to both wheels, how much larger is $F_2$ than $F_1$? Wheel 1, radius R, mass M A) $F_2 = F_1$ B) $F_2 = \sqrt{2}F_1$ C) $F_2 = 2F_1$ D) $F_2 = 4F_1$ Wheel 2, radius 2R, mass M

But wheel 2 has twice the radius of wheel 1. Each is accelerated from rest with a force applied as shown. In order to impart identical angular accelerations to both wheels, how much larger is F than F? Wheel 1: radius R, mass M, F = F Wheel 2: radius 2R, mass M Options: A) F = F B) F = 1/2F C) F = 2F D) F = 4F
