Q.

 

A wheel of radius 0.2 m rotates freely about its center when a string that is wrapped over its rim is pulled by force of 10 N as shown in figure. The established torque produces an angular acceleration of 2 rad/s2. Moment of inertia of the wheel is _____ kgm2. (Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s2)          [2025]


Ans.

(1)

τ=FR=Iα

 I=FRα=10×0.22= 1 kgm2
