Consider a fly wheel whose mass M is distributed almost equally between a heavy, ring-like rim of radius P and a concentric disk-like feature of radius R/2. Other parts of the flywheel, such as spokes, etc, have negligible mass. The best approximation for α, if the moment Of inertia of the flywheel about its axis of rotation is expressed as αMR2, is _______.
-
- 0.56
- 0.51
- 0.55
- 0.59
Correct Option: A
Moment of Inertia of fly wheel
I = mrR2
R = mean Radius of Rim
= M | 2 | 2 |
= 0.56 MR2
⇒ α = 0.56
