Thanks guys!

Hi Guys, I have lost my physics textbook that I had in college, and would like to have one to reference at work. I was wondering if you guys had any good recommendations for a "general physics" textbook that I could buy. Thanks.

Okay. So the only thing I need to get rid of is V(Fa) and 'say' that z is non zero and it should be perfect to be an example of a driving/accelerating wheel?

I don't understand how I am not concerned with the torque applied on the wheel. If there is angular acceleration on the wheel, there has to be a torque applied. Also, the wheel has to be applying a forward force V(Fa) for the car to accelerate in speed correct, so at the axle there would be a...

Updated. Assume Rv to be the reaction force of the car on the wheel, and I labeled the angular acceleration z since I cannot due Greek letters in paint. This is correct now right?

I drew up a quick picture in paint of a wheel under acceleration. This is the driving wheel of a RWD car. Am I missing any forces/drawn in the wrong direction? Thanks.
