In order to determine the mass moment of inertia of a flywheel of radius 600 mm, a 12-kg block is attached to a wire that is wrapped around the flywheel. The block is released and is observed to fall 3 m in 4.6 s. To eliminate bearing friction from the computation, a second block of mass 24 kg is used and is observed to fall 3 m in 3.1 s. Assuming that the moment of the couple due to friction remains constant, determine the mass moment of inertia of the flywheel.

- A disk with radius R and mass m begins from rest and then moves without slipping while being pulled horizontall by a force P acting at its center axle. Show that the velocity of the wheel after T seconds is v= 2PT/3m. (Hint: use both linear and angular-impulse principles.) m REG P ¹The radius of gyration has units of length and is related to the inertia by k = IG/m. It corresponds to the distance at which a mass equivalent to the mass of the rigid body would produce the same inertia as the actual rigid body. Recall that the inertia of a particle of mass m at a distance r from an axis of ortation is mr². Rather that using r the convention is to define the radus of gyration with the symbol k.arrow_forwardA disk with mass m and radius R is released from rest at a height h and rolls without slipping down a ramp. What is the velocity of the center of the disk when it reaches the bottom of the slope? (Hint Use the work-energy principle. At each instant the disk rotates around the contact point C, thus the inertia used for rotatonal kinetic energy should be computed around point C not point G.) m C harrow_forwardThe space capsule has no angular velocity when the jet at A is activated for 1 s in a direction parallel to the axis.
