a) Sketch two graphs. The first graph should be angular acceleration versus time for the two wheel and clearly show the time at which the two angular accelerations are equal. The second graph should angular displacement as a function of time for the two wheels and should cover the first ten seconds of motion

**Description for Educational Website:**

Two identical flywheels with a radius of 1.00 m are fixed in place on a table and spinning side-by-side, each spinning about their center. The setup is as follows:

- **Wheel A:** 
  - Initially spins in the clockwise direction.
  - Initial angular velocity (\(\omega_{A0}\)) = -16.0 rad/s.
  - Initial angular displacement (\(\theta_{A0}\)) = 0 rad.
  - Constant angular acceleration (\(\alpha\)) = 1.90 rad/s².

- **Wheel B:**
  - Initially spins in the counter-clockwise direction.
  - Initial angular velocity (\(\omega_{B0}\)) = 16 rad/s.
  - Initial angular displacement (\(\theta_{B0}\)) = 0 rad.
  - Angular acceleration (\(\alpha\)) = -1.85 rad/s² - 5.33t rad/s³ + 1.02t² rad/s⁴.

A diagram illustrates the wheels, with sensors indicating the direction of rotation. Both wheels have strings attached that presumably measure tension or angular displacement.

**Task:**
- **Graphs to Sketch:**
  a) **Angular Acceleration vs. Time:**
     - Plot the angular acceleration of both wheels over time.
     - Indicate the time at which their angular accelerations are equal.

  b) **Angular Displacement vs. Time:**
     - Plot the angular displacement of both wheels over the first ten seconds of motion.

This exercise helps to visually compare the changes in angular motion over time for both wheels under defined mathematical conditions.
