Ok me and my friend have clashed with solutions to calculate the moment of inertia of a flywheel and I think I have it after a while but I'm not so sure about my maths!

The solution he ended up with was a lot larger and more complex

The photo is pretty hard to read. Can you maybe just type it into a post here? Or else, use a good quality scanner to upload the image? Thanks.
 
I will try and upload a better picture

Are either of these any better?
 
Not really, at least not for me. Can you use the Advanced Reply option to type in your equations?
 
I am current using an iphone so not sure I can but when I get home I will post what I have:)
