d
Since the spokes of a bicycle wheelhave much less mass than the rim, the wheel can be modeled as acylindrical hoop ofmass 1.90 kg and radius 0.6 m. This wheel rotates without frictionabout a vertical axis perpendicular to the disk and through itscenter. Standing on the rim is a kitten of mass 1.00 kg (the kittencan be modeled as a point mass). The wheel (with the kittenstanding on it) rotates with an angular velocity of 0.600revolutions per second.
a) What is the moment of inertia ofthe wheel/kitten system?
b) The kitten then scampers from itsinitial position inward on the wheel until it is standing at thecenter. What is the new moment of inertia of the wheel/kittensystem?
c) What is the angular velocity of thesystem when the kitten reaches the center?
d) What is the ratio of the system
