A block with mass m = 5.00 kg slides down a surface inclined 36.9° to the horizontal (Figure 1). The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.26. A string attached to the block is wrapped around a flywheel on a fixed axis at O. The flywheel has mass 8.16 kg and moment of inertia 0.500 kg m² with respect to the axis of rotation. The string pulls without slipping at a perpendicular distance of 0.350 m from that axis.

The momentum of an object is given by multiplying its mass and velocity. Momentum is a property of any object that moves with mass. The only difference between angular momentum and linear momentum is that angular momentum deals with moving or spinning ob…

The idea of moments is an important concept in physics. It arises from the fact that distance often plays an important part in the interaction of, or in determining the impact of forces on bodies. Moments are often described by their order [first, second…
