Suppose an automobile engine can produce 180 N*m of torque, and assume this car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.5 kg disk that has a 0.175 m radius. The tires act like 1.9-kg rings that have inside radii of 0.19 m and outside radii of 0.315 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 12-kg hoop of radius 0.335 m. The 14.5-kg axle acts like a solid cylinder that has a 1.95-cm radius. The 32.5-kg drive shaft acts like a solid cylinder that has a 2.9-cm radius.

(a) calculate the angular acceleration in radians per square second, produced by the motor if 95.0% of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car.

    Moment of inertia of each wheel = 1/2 m R²

    m is mass and R is radius of wheel

    =.5 x 15.5 x. 175²

    =.2373 kg m²

    moment of inertia of tyre

    1/2 m (r₁² + r₂²)

    = 1/2 x 1.9 x (.315² +.19²)

    = 1/2 x 1.9 x (.099+.036)

    =.12825 kg m²

    moment of inertia of tread

    = 1/2 m r²

    =.5 x 12 x. 335²

    =.67335 kg m²

    moment of inertia of axle

    = 1/2 m r ²

    =.5 x 14.5 x. 0195²

    =.00275

    moment of inertia of drive shaft

    = 1/2 x 32.5 x. 029²

    =.0137 kg m ²

    Total moment of inertia of one tyre

    = 1.05535 kg m²

    total moment of inertia of two rear wheels

    = 2.1107 kg m²

    95 % of torque

    =.95 x 180

    = 171 Nm

    angular acceleration

    = torque / moment of inertia

    = 171 / 2.1107

    = 81.01 radian / s²
