Wheel 2 has twice the radius of wheel 1 Each is accelerated

Wheel 2 has twice the radius of wheel 1 Each is accelerated from rest with a force applied as shown Assume that all the mass of the wheels is concentrated in the rims so that the moment of inertia of each is of the form I M R2 hoop formula In order to impart identical angular accelerations to both wheels how much larger is F than F Recall that T I a O F F O F 8F O F 8F O F 2F O F 4F O F 4F F 2E F2 2F Wheel 1 radius R mass M a 2R Wheel 2 radius 2R mass M
