    Error estimation of moment of inertia of a flywheel

    now i get the formula I = mr^2 [n2/(n1+n2)] [(gt^2)/(2h) - 1] where m = mass of the hanging wieght; r = radius; n1 = no. of revolutions before the weight reaches the floor; n2 = no. of revolutions before the flywheel stops; t = time taken for the weight to reach the floor; h = height of...

    Calculating HP/TQ Freed Up by Lighter Flywheel in Mazda KLDE/KLO3 2.5L V6

    I need help figuring out how much HP/TQ is freed up by changing to a lighter flywheel in a car. Specifically the Mazda KLDE/KLO3 2.5L V6 found in the Ford Probe/Mazda MX6. I have listed all needed specifications (I hope). Basically I enjoy physics but am not smart enough to identify and...

    Calculating Revolutions and Speed Reduction of a Flywheel

    Hi people. I wonder if anyone could check a problem I had been set as homework and [possibly point me in the right direction for the second part. A solid disc flywheel, mass 900kg, 0.75m radius accelerated at 0.8rads/s(sq) from rest to 480 RPM in 63 secs. a) Calculate the number of...

    Angular velocity and acceleration of a flywheel system

    Ok, did I do this correctly? The question goes: Determine the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the disk and the link AB at the instant A rotates through 90 degrees. See attachment for the figure. What I did--first the disk: Assuming \alpha_{disk} is constant...

    Calculating Rotations and Linear Acceleration in a Flywheel System

    I missed a week of school so I'm a bit behind, i do have a book so i need just a bit of guidance. Any extra help would be appreciated. Question Part 1 The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular speed of 115 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the bearings and...
