Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the rim of wheel, m₁ = 7 kg
Mass of one spoke, m₂ = 1.2 kg
Diameter of the wagon, d = 0.5 m
Radius of the wagon, r = 0.25 m
Let I is the the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis.
We know that the moment of inertia of the ring is given by :


The moment of inertia of the rod about one end is given by :

l = r


For 6 spokes, 
So, the net moment of inertia of the wagon is :


So, the moment of inertia of the wagon wheel for rotation about its axis is
. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
a) 1.3 rad/s
b) 0.722 s
Explanation:
Given
Initial velocity, ω = 0 rad/s
Angular acceleration of the wheel, α = 1.8 rad/s²
using equations of angular motion, we have
θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²
where
θ2 - θ1 = 53.2 rad
t2 - t1 = 7s
substituting these in the equation, we have
θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²
53.2 =ω(0) * 7 + 1/2 * 1.8 * 7²
53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 1/2 * 1.8 * 49
53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 44.1
7.ω(0) = 53.2 - 44.1
ω(0) = 9.1 / 7
ω(0) = 1.3 rad/s
Using another of the equations of angular motion, we have
ω(0) = ω(i) + α*t1
1.3 = 0 + 1.8 * t1
1.3 = 1.8 * t1
t1 = 1.3/1.8
t1 = 0.722 s
We may be positive that an object is in mechanical equilibrium if it is not rotating and experiences no acceleration.
<h3>What is
mechanical equilibrium?</h3>
There are numerous other definitions for mechanical equilibrium that are all mathematically comparable in addition to the definition in terms of force. A system is in equilibrium in terms of momentum if the component motions are all constant. If velocity is constant, the system is in equilibrium in terms of velocity. When an item is in a state of rotational mechanical equilibrium, its angular momentum is preserved and its net torque is zero. More generally, equilibrium is reached in conservative systems at a configuration space location where the gradient of the potential energy concerning the generalized coordinates is zero.

Explanation:
A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.
F = kx
40 N = k (0.4 m)
k = 100 N/m
B) Period of a spring-mass system is:
T = 2π √(m / k)
T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)
T = 1 s
Frequency is the inverse of period.
f = 1 / T
f = 1 Hz
