Chapter 9, Problem 57GP
A passenger bus in Zurich, Switzerland, derived its motive power from the energy stored in a large flywheel. Whenever the bus was stopped at a station, the wheel was brought up to speed with the use of an electric motor that could then be attached to the electric power lines. The flywheel was a solid cylinder with a mass of 1000 kg and a diameter of 1.80 m; its top angular speed was 3000 rev/min. At this angular speed, what was the kinetic energy of the flywheel?

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 683 rad/s. One such flywheel is a solid, uniform cylinder with a mass of 535 kg and a radius of 1.2 m that rotates about its central axis. What is the kinetic energy of the flywheel after charging?
If the truck uses an average power of 8.4 kW, for how many minutes can it operate between chargings?
In the figure, a wheel of radius 0.364 m is mounted on a frictionless horizontal axis. The rotational inertia of the wheel about the axis is
