Homework Statement



If we only know the force Fr, Find the angular velocity of the flywheel.

Homework Equations






The Attempt at a Solution



in the pulleys

F=F1=F2=F3
Fr=(F Sin β)/sin (β/2)=2F cos (β/2)
F = (2 cos (β/2))/Fr

so now for the flywheel

I=1/2 MR2 ..... M=mass R=Radius
τ=RF and τ=Iα .... τ = torque α = angular acceleration

so

α = 2F / MR

could you tell me if I'm right ?? and how can I can find the angular velocity.??
thank so much for your help :smile:

Your angular acceleration looks okay.

How does one normally find velocity given acceleration? Remember that the kinematic equations that apply to linear motion have direct parallels in angular motion.
