    How Do You Calculate the Moment of Inertia for a Rotating Wheel?

    I know that my answer for part e is correct. For the FBDs, the wheel would have w and T in the negative y direction and the mass has positive T and negative w. 8.00kg mass: w=mg=8kg*9.8m/s^2=78.4N, but it's -78.4N since it's in the negative direction y components: T+w=ma...

    How Do You Calculate the Moment of Inertia for a Rotating Wheel?

    Homework Statement You are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel, for rotation about an axis through its center. You measure the diameter of the wheel to be 0.740 m and find that it weighs 280 N (note, that's not the mass!). You mount the wheel, using frictionless...
