Answer:

The torque of the wheel is 0.92 N-m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Radius of wire = 3 cm

Angular acceleration = 92.00 rad/s²

Suppose, Mass of wheel is 4 kg and radius is 5 cm. find the torque of the wheel.

We need to calculate the torque of the wheel

Using formula of torque


\tau=I\alpha


\tau=MR^2*\alpha

Where, M = mass of wheel

R = radius of wheel


\alpha = angular acceleration

Put the value into the formula


\tau=4*(5*10^(-2))^2*92


\tau=0.92\ N-m

Hence, The torque of the wheel is 0.92 N-m.
