Answer:
I = 6.2161900319309 slug-feet^2[/tex]
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of an object may simply be stated as a measure of how difficult it is to start it spinning, or to alter an object's spinning motion
The moment of inertia of an object is given by the expression
[tex]I=mr^{2}[/tex]
but in this case we are talking about the moment of inertia of a circular disk, the expression is a bit different
[tex]I=[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]mr^{2}[/tex]
inputting the values given in the expression above
[tex]I=\frac{1}{2}(16)5^{2}[/tex]
moment of inertia = 200 lb
the expected outcome should be in slug feet squared
1 slug-feet squared = 32.1740488782426
therefore we need to divide our answer by this value
so
= [tex]\frac{200}{32.1740488782426} \\
= 6.2161900319309 slug-feet^2[/tex]
