Consider the 13 kg motorcycle wheel shown in the figure. Assume it to be approximately a ring with an inner radius of 0.285 m and an outer radius of 0.325 m. The motorcycle is on its center stand, so that the wheel can spin freely. If the drive chain exerts a force of 2200 N at a radius of 4.95 cm, what is the angular acceleration of the wheel, in radians per square second?  What is the tangential acceleration, in meters per square second, of a point on the outer edge of the tire?   How long, in seconds, starting from rest, does it take to reach an angular velocity of 89.5 rad/s?
