Question:
A Ferris wheel rotates because a motor exerts a torque on the wheel. The radius of the London Eye, a huge observation wheel on the banks of the Thames, is 67.5 m and its mass is 1.90 × 106 kg. The cruising angular speed of the wheel is 3.50 × 10−3 rad/s.
(a) How much work does the motor need to do to bring the stationary wheel up to cruising speed?
(b) What is the torque (assumed constant) the motor needs to provide to the wheel if it takes 20.0 s to reach the cruising angular speed?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
