Two wheels can rotate freely about fixed axles through their centers. The wheels have the same mass, but one has twice the radius of the other. Forces F1 and F2 are applied as shown such that the angular acceleration of the two wheels is the same.

1)Compare the magnitudes of the two forces
F2 = F1
F2 = 2 F1
F2 = 4 F1

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To compare the magnitudes of the two forces we need to consider the torque applied by ... View the full answer
