Ezekiel's Wheel

Your goal is to calculate the moment of inertia of Ezekiel's Wheel in kg m^2.  

Energy

You know m, and you can calculate v from suvat, (Use no a) and omega from v and r.  r will be half the diameter.   Solve for I.  Be sure to convert m to kg, and r to m.



Dynamics:

Solve the Equation # 2 for T, and substitute that into the first equation, and you will have an equation that has m, g, a, and r.  Calculate a from suvat, (use no v) and everything else you know.
