Problem 2
A flywheel with a moment of inertia of 4 kg m2 is initially at rest. If a torque of 5 N m (counterclockwise) is
suddenly applied to the flywheel, Calculate the speed of the flywheel after 5 s. Express that speed in both
radians per second and revolutions per minute.

Problem 4
A force of 20 N is applied to a cylinder, as shown in Figure 1. If the cylinder has a radius pf 0.35 m and a
mass moment of inertia of 6 kg.m2, calculate:
a) The magnitude and direction of the torque produced on the cylinder.
b) The angular acceleration (α) of the cylinder.

Problem 5
A transformer core with an effective mean path length of 10 in has a 300-turn coil wrapped around one leg.
Its cross-sectional area is 0.25 in2, and its magnetization curve is shown in Figure 2. If current of 0.25 A is
flowing in the coil, calculate the total flux in the core and the flux density.
