Given: A wheel consists of 2 rings and 8 rods. The large ring, small ring and each of the rods weigh 100 lb, 15 lb, and 20 lb, respectively. 1ft- Find: The mass moment of inertia of the wheel about an axis perpendicular to the screen and passing through point A. Also, find the radius of gyration. Plan: Determine the MMI of the wheel about point O, which is its mass center, using the method for composite bodies. Then, use the parallel-axis theorem to find MMI about point A. 4 ft
