    Rotational Dynamics of a Grindstone

    I've read that the Torque = moment of inertia x angular acceleration, I have velocity but there is no change in acceleration so the equation would be 0 which can't be right. Also could I use torque = force x radius and the force would just be 50N? I know what I'm trying to achieve but I just...

    Rotational Dynamics of a Grindstone

    My background is in chemistry and I have never had to do physics before, I have gone back to university to do chemical engineering and was told my background in chemistry was good enough to get in without any qualification in physics. However I have been put on a physics course and the lecturer...

    Rotational Dynamics of a Grindstone

    Homework Statement A grindstone is used to sharpen knives and consists of a stone cylinder and a central axle There are bearings between the axle and the frame to reduce any friction. This grindstone has a mass of 60 kg, a diameter of 0.600 m and has a moment of Inertia (I) of 4.50 kg.m2 ...
