An old grindstone, used for sharpening tools, is a solid cylindrical wheel that can rotate about its central axle with negligible friction. The radius of the wheel is 0.330 m. A constant tangential force of 200 N applied to its edge causes the wheel to have an angular acceleration of 0.960 rad/s2. (a) What is the moment of inertia of the wheel (in kg · m2)? b) What is the mass (in kg) of the wheel?   (c) The wheel starts from rest and the tangential force remains constant over a time period of 4.50 s. What is the angular speed (in rad/s) of the wheel at the end of this time period?
