Agrinding wheel is a uniform cylinder with a radius of 7.80 cm and a mass of 0.550 kg.

part a
calculate its moment of inertia about its center. express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
part b
calculate the applied torque needed to accelerate it from rest to 1750 rpm in 7.40 s .

take into account a frictional torque that has been measured to slow down the wheel from 1500 rpm to rest in 58.0 s .

a. I = 167.31 x 10 ⁻³ kg*m²

b. T = 4.59 kg * m² / s²

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a uniform cylinder:

a.

r = 7.8 cm * 1 m / 100 cm = 0.078 m

I = ½ * m * r²  

I = ½ * 0.55 kg * (0.078²m)

I = 167.31 x 10 ⁻³ kg*m²

b.

T = Iα’ + Iα,    

α’ = ω’/t = 1750 rpm * (2π/60) / 7.40s  =  24.76 rad/s²

α = ω/t = 1500 rpm * (2π/60) / 58  = 2.71 rad/s²

T = (167.31 x 10⁻³ kg*m²)* (24.76 + 2.71 ) rad / s²  

T = 4.59 kg * m² / s²

d) the number of neutrons plus the number of protons
