As an intern at an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel for rotation about an axis pcrpondicular to the whcol at its conter. You moasuro the diameter of the wheel to be 0.920 m Then you mount the wheel on frictionless bearings on a horizontal frictionless axle at the center of the wheel. You wrap a light rope around the wheel and hang an 8.20 kg block of wood from the free end of the rope, as in (Figure 1). You release the system from rest and find that the block descends 12.0 m in 4.00 s. Figure What is the moment of inertia of the wheel for this axis? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
