I need some help with these two problems:
1. A wheel of radius 30 cm has forces applied to it as shown in the figure below. Find the torque produced by the force of (a) 4 N (b) 9 N (c) 7 N (d) 6 N. See attachment for figure.
(a) = _____1.2 N*m_____ counterclockwise?
(b) = _____2.7 N*m_____ clockwise?
(c) = __________ N*m
(d) = __________ N*m clockwise
For a, I did: (4N)(.3 M ) = 1.2 N*m
for b, (9 N)(.3 M) = 2.7 N*m
for c, I don't know how to solve it if hte force isn't perpendicular.
for d, same as c. Does anybody know how to solve for c and d, and does anybody know if a and b are correct?
2. A wheel, of mass 6 Kg and radius of gyration 40 cm, is rotating at 300 rpm. Find its momentum of inertia and its rotational KE.
I got:
I = mr^2 = (6 Kg)(0.4 m)^2 = 0.96 kg*m^2. Is that right?
And I'm not sure how to find the rotational kinetic energy. Is there an equation I need?
All help is appreciated. thank you
