Sorry, I meant to write the initial rotation of the wheel is zero (at rest). Does that make a difference ?

Given : A (hypothetical) wheel with a m.o.i. of 1 lb*ft^2 Radius of wheel = 1.9099 inches, therefore circumference of wheel = 1 foot The wheel is at rest, i.e. zero rotation speed. A torque of 1 ft/lb is applied for 1 second Is the result a rotation of 1 r.p.s. (60 r.p.m.) ? thx Mike
