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, 30?40?50mm triangle. The flywheel has a mass of m=2kg A force F is applied to the piston and the flywheel accelerates at ?=100rad/s2. a. Draw ×2 free body diagrams: (1) the flywheel (2) the connecting arm b. The connecting arm is light enough to ignore mass, so ?F=?M=0, but the flywheel has a moment of inertia, I=2mr2?. Using ?M=I?, what is the force, F that creates the flywheel acceleration?
