2. A wheel and axle system is made of two solid disks, which are stuck together. The rotational inertia of a solid disk can be found using the equation I=% MR2. The smaller disk has a mass of 0.50 kg and a radius of 0.10 meters. The larger disk has a mass of 4.50 kg, and a radius of 0.30 meters. Two masses are attached together as shown. 12 kg 3 kg a. What is the rotational inertia of the smaller disk? b. What is the rotational inertia of the larger disk? c. What is the rotational inertia of the wheel and axle system? d. If the masses are allowed to move, will the wheel and axle rotate clockwise or counterclockwise? Prove your answer. e. What is the angular acceleration of the wheel and axle, if the masses are allowed to move?
