Torque and angular acceleration of a fly wheel
Assignment
- Calculate the torque (τ) of a flywheel on Earth having flywheel mass 5 kg, diameter 3 cm, mass of rings 500 g, diameter of axle 2.4 cm, and number of chords 7.
- Calculate the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a flywheel on the Moon having flywheel mass 21 kg, diameter 20 cm, mass of rings 600 g, diameter of axle 3.2 cm, and number of chords 5; and hence find its kinetic energy (K.E.).
- Calculate the angular acceleration of a flywheel on Jupiter having flywheel mass 42 kg, diameter 28 cm, mass of rings 800 g, diameter of axle 2.8 cm, and number of chords 2.
- Calculate the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a flywheel on Uranus having flywheel mass 15 kg, diameter 10 cm, mass of rings 1000 g, diameter of axle 3.6 cm, and number of chords 5; and hence find its kinetic energy.
- Calculate the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a flywheel on Saturn having flywheel mass 24 kg, diameter 10 cm, mass of rings 200 g, diameter of axle 3 cm, and number of chords 10.
