Moment of Inertia of Flywheel
Assignment
- Calculate the mean angular velocity (ω) of a flywheel on Earth having flywheel mass 40 kg, diameter 10 cm, mass of rings 500 g, diameter of axle 3.6 cm, and number of chords 7.
- Calculate the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a flywheel on Saturn having flywheel mass 36.5 kg, diameter 10 cm, mass of rings 200 g, diameter of axle 3 cm, and number of chords 10.
- Calculate the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a flywheel on the Moon having flywheel mass 31.5 kg, diameter 10 cm, mass of rings 800 g, diameter of axle 2.4 cm, and number of chords 5; and hence find its kinetic energy (K.E.).
- Calculate the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a flywheel on Jupiter having flywheel mass 11.5 kg, diameter 10 cm, mass of rings 100 g, diameter of axle 2.8 cm, and number of chords 6.
- Calculate the moment of inertia (M.I.) of a flywheel on Uranus having flywheel mass 23.5 kg, diameter 10 cm, mass of rings 1000 g, diameter of axle 3.6 cm, and number of chords 5; and hence find its kinetic energy.
