A force of 16.88 N is applied tangentially to a wheel of radius 0.340 m and gives rise to an angular acceleration of 1.20rad / (s ^ 2) . Calculate the rotational inertia of the wheel. A. 2.77 kg - m ^ 2 B. 0.73 kg - m ^ 2 C. 4.41 kg - m ^ 2 O. 4.78 kg - m ^ 2

Sagot :

Given.

force = 16.88 N is

radius = 0.340m

an angular acceleration = 1.20rad/s^2

the formula for torque is

F*r = I*a

where I is moment of inertia

16.88*.34 = I*1.2

I = 4.78Kg-m^2

so rotational inertia I = 4.78Kg-m^2
