Answer:
C. The wheel with spokes has about twice the KE.
Explanation:
Given that
Mass , radius and the angular speed for both the wheels are same.
radius = r
Mass = m
Angular speed = ω
The angular kinetic energy KE given as
I=Moment of inertia for wheels
Wheel made of spokes
I₁ = m r²
Wheel like a disk
I₂ = 0.5 m r²
Now by comparing kinetic energy
KE₁= 2 KE₂
Therefore answer is C.
Answer:
The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.
Explanation:
According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:
TA = W * (a * cosθ)
The torque due to effort at C point is:
TC = E * (b * cosθ)
The net torque is equal to 0, we have:
Tnet = 0
W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0
From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W
