Calculating moment of inertia of a complicated system

[QUOTE="iancheung228, post: 5499009, member: 596771"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] I am currently doing a lab investigating the relationship between the moment of inertia and speed. I have attached some pictures of my 'wheel' that is going to be rolled down a ramp. FYI i will be using a photogate to measure the time it takes the black strip to pass through. Initially, I thought the magnets were creating the 'hollow' part of the disc, but apparently i am wrong, and I am wondering how to calculate the moment of inertia of the magnet and then apply the moment of inertia to the equation mgh=1/2mv^2+I system (omega)^2.[h2]Homework Equations[/h2] MgH=v^2(m/2+Isystem/2r^2) where M is the mass of the whole wheel system 0.369kg. g is 9.8 H is the initial height on the ramp which is 0.105m V is measured with a photogate ,0.10m/0.11746s= 0.85135m/s radius of the circle is 8cm. I of the system is (mr^2/2)+(mr^2/2)+8(mass of magnets (0.019kg(0.53m^2+2(0.078m^2)) where the mass of bgi wheel is 0.142kg and small wheel 0.074kg. MgH=v^2(m/2+Isystem/2r^2) where M is the mass of the whole wheel system 0.369kg. g is 9.8 H is the initial height on the ramp which is 0.105m V is measured with a photogate ,0.10m/0.11746s= 0.85135m/s radius of the circle is 8cm. I of the system is (mr^2/2)+(mr^2/2)+8(mass of magnets (0.019kg(0.53m^2+2(0.078m^2)) where the mass of bgi wheel is 0.142kg and small wheel 0.074kg.
