AI Thread Summary
To calculate the mass of a rim-type flywheel with a mean radius of 75mm and a torque of 100Nmm, one should begin by applying principles of angular momentum and relevant equations. The flywheel accelerates from rest to 600 RPM over 1000 revolutions, which requires determining the angular acceleration and the moment of inertia. It's essential to clarify the problem's phrasing to ensure accurate calculations. Listing the relevant equations and showing the work step-by-step will facilitate verification of the calculations. Properly addressing these aspects will lead to a successful solution.

1.Determine the mass of a rim type flywheel who’s mean radius is 75mm. If it travels a distance of 1000 revolutions when a torque of 100Nmm is applied. To travel this distance the fly wheel accelerates from rest to a speed of 600RPM.


I have no idea where to start on this one! Please could anyone advise?
Thanks,

You sure you transcribed the question right? The phrasing and terminology seem a little screwy. Traveling a distance? Where? How?

Anyhow, you probably need to start looking at angular momentum. There is your start.
 
HNCMATHS: Start by finding and listing relevant equations, such as here[/color], here[/color], and here[/color]; and start plugging in the given parameters. List relevant equations, and show your work. And then someone might check your math. Hint 1: Note that rg = r.
