I think I may have cracked this
Total force to pull down = torque inertia of wheel + spring force + inertia force
I haven't got my notes on me but I've worked it through and it seems right.
Thanks for the help
I can only think of 3 forces, and I think that is all I need for work at this level.
The force of the spring
Torque inertia of the wheel
And inertia force
Is this correct?
Homework Statement
A wheel with moment of inertia I. A mass of M is connected to a belt and runs over the wheel with radius R and connected to a spring with a stiffness of k which is connected to the ground.
Show that if the mass is pulled down with a force of F and released the system will...
