    Inertia Momentum
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around calculating the rotational speeds N1 and N2 based on an average speed of 430 RPM, with a 2% variation. N1 is calculated as 438.6 RPM and N2 as 421.4 RPM, reflecting the average speed adjusted for the percentage variation. Participants clarify that the term "speed varies from above and below" indicates that the flywheel's speed fluctuates slightly around the average rather than being constant. The calculation of percentages is explained, emphasizing the need to multiply the percentage by the average speed to find the actual values. Understanding these calculations is crucial for grasping the concept of momentum of inertia in this context.

can please help me how I can find N1 and N2

and I don't understand what mean by Speeeeed varies from above and below ? b]

I believe it means that the flywheel smoothing is not perfect, it does not iron the speed out to be a perfectly constant 430 RPM. Rather, it smooths it out so that as the flywheel rotates, its instantaneous angular velocity during every revolution varies from a few % less than [what equates to] 430 RPM to the same few % faster than [what would equate to] 430 RPM.

430 RPM is the average (or mean) rotational speed.
 
see the teacher said

N1 = 430 + ( 0.02 X 430 ) = 438.6 rpm
N2 = 430 - (0.02 X 430 ) = 421.4 rpmHow is that please tell me

How is that please tell me
0.02 is 2% and I think I explained the rest in post #2
 
I know this 430 + ( 0.02)

but why then multiply in 430 ??

That is how you calculate percent.

1% of 100 kilograms is 0.01 * 100kg = 1kg.

Does that make sense now?
 
And more like your problem,

Adding 1% to the mass of 100kg:

1.01 * 100kg = 100kg + 0.01 * 100kg = 101kg
 
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank so so so so so much
