Homework Statement
In a lab we conducted in class we graphed angular acceleration vs torque, and found a positive linear correlation-easy enough. However I am getting rather stuck in simplifying the units of slope in terms of Kg, m, and s... I am fairly sure this will give me that angular acceleration equals torque times inertia but I have trouble with simplifying the slope AND with even getting torque and angular acceleration simplified to kg m and s. I would really appreciate some help! thanks!
Homework Equations
Torque=NM
NM=Kg*a*m
kg*a*m=kg*(m/s^2)*m
=kg*m^2/s^2
Angular Acceleration= rad/s^2
rad/s^2=at/r
at/r=m/s^2/r
m^2/s^2
The Attempt at a Solution
(kg*m^2/s^2)/(m^2/s^2)
=kg
