Question

A wheel of radius R is free to rotate about its natural axis and I is its moment of inertia. If a tangential force F is applied on the wheel along its rim, then angular acceleration of wheel is:
  1. IFR
  2. FRI
  3. IFR
  4. IRF

A
IFR
B
IRF
C
IFR
D
FRI
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The torque is given using the relation
τ=F×R
or
τ=Iα
or
