All right, hello.
00:01
In this question, we're working with a moment of inertia.
00:03
We're told that the moment of inertia of a solid disk passing through its axis is going to be 1 half times the mass times the radius of that disk squared.
00:12
And we're asked, in part a, if the mass of the disk is 2 .4 kilograms and the radius is 44 centimeters, which i'm going to convert in meters there, what is the moment of inertia? well, the moment of inertia is 1 half times that mass of 2 .4 times our radius of 0 .44 meters squared.
00:32
And that gives us a moment of inertia of 0 .23.
00:35
And we're going to two sig figs here.
00:37
So this is going to be kilograms meters squared as our units.
00:41
That's part a.
00:41
Part b says, if the disk is rotating at 100 rpm, what is the angular speed of the disk in radians per second? so we're given an omega is 180.
00:52
And this is revolutions per minute.
00:55
We want to just convert that into radians per second.
00:58
So i know that in one minute, i have 60 seconds.
01:02
And i have, in one revolution, one full time around a circle, i have 2 pi radians.
01:08
And so my minutes are going to cancel.
01:10
My revolutions are going to cancel.
01:11
And i'll be left with radians per second.
01:14
And this is going to be equal to 6 pi radians per second...
