Figure 1: Flywheel actuated by a piston system The flywheel shown above is rotated with a piston. The piston can move leftright and the flywheel can rotate freely. In its current state, the connecting arm creates a 90 -degree angle between the flywheel and the piston, triangle. The flywheel has a mass of A force is applied to the piston and the flywheel accelerates at . a. Draw free body diagrams: (1) the flywheel the connecting arm b. The connecting arm is light enough to ignore mass, so , but the flywheel has a moment of inertia, . Using , what is the force, that creates the flywheel acceleration?
