Two wheels with fixed hubs, each having a mass of 1 kg, start from rest, and forces are applied as shown. Assume the hubs and spokes are massless, so that the rotational inertia
is I = mR2
. In order to impart identicalangular accelerations, how large must F be?
BLUE: 0.25 N
YELLOW: 0.5 N
PINK: 1 N
PURPLE: 2 N
GREEN: 4 N
