A body rolls over a horizontal, smooth surface without slipping with a translational kinetic energy E. Show that the kinetic energy of the body is E=(1+K 2 /R 2 )
where K is the radius of gyration and R is the radius of the body. Using the above relation, find the
total kinetic energy of a circular disc.
b) A wheel of mass 1000 kg and radius 1 m is rotating at the rate of 420 r. p.m. What is the
constant torque required to stop the wheel in 14 rotations, assuming the mass to be
concentrated at the rim of the wheel?
