Chapter 11 Problem 39

Question

The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg m2 about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.800 kg "m2 /s in 1.50 s. (a) What is the magnitude of the average torque acting on the flywheel about its central axis during this period? (b) Assuming a constant angular acceleration, through what angle does the flywheel turn? (c) How much work is done on the wheel? (d) What is the average power of the flywheel?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 11 problem number 39 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg m2 about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.800 kg "m2 /s in 1.50 s. (a) What is the magnitude of the average torque acting on the flywheel about its central axis during this period? (b) Assuming a constant angular acceleration, through what angle does the flywheel turn? (c) How much work is done on the wheel? (d) What is the average power of the flywheel?
From the textbook chapter you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
