A wagon wheel 1.00m in diameter consists of a thin rim having a mass of 7.25kg and six spokes each having a mass of 1.30kg. Determine the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.
I thought that I could simply sum the masses (7 of them) and the multiply them by them by the radius squred. Didnt work!
I am having some problems with this chapter on rotational dynamics and torque. If anyone knows of any really good books or websites that could be helpful please let me know. Thanks!
