Question

A 1.6 m diameter cylindrical flywheel of mass 300 kg is running at a constant 400rpm. A clutch mechanism engages it with a second non-cylindrical flywheel ofmass 650 kg and

radius of gyration of 0.95 m which is initially at rest. Calculate EACH of the following: a The angular momentum of the 300 kg flywheel; b The angular impulse transmitted to the second flywheel.
