23. Problem 12.47P (HRW) Wheels A and B as shown in the figure are connected by a belt
that does not slip. The radius of the wheel B is three times the radius of the
wheel A. What would be the ratio of the rotational inertias
|
if
both wheels had (a) the same angular momentum about their central axis
and (b) the same rotational kinetic energies?

Solution: Click For PDF Version Radius
As the two wheels are connected by a belt which does not slip, the speeds of the rims of the wheels will be equal and their angular speeds will be related as
(a) If both wheels have the same angular momentum
(b) If both wheels have the same rotational kinetic energy

of the
wheel B is three times the radius
of the
wheel A. That is
