Torque is a measure of the rotational force applied to an object. It is calculated by multiplying the force applied to the object by the distance from the point of rotation.
RPM is calculated by dividing the total number of revolutions by the time it took to complete those revolutions. In this case, the RPM would be 800 revolutions per minute.
The weight of the flywheel affects its rotational inertia, which is the resistance to changes in its rotational speed. A heavier flywheel will have a higher rotational inertia, meaning it will take more force to change its speed.
To calculate this, we can use the formula Time = (Number of Revolutions / RPM) x 60 seconds. Plugging in the given values, we get Time = (800 rev / min) x (40 sec) / (1 min) = 32,000 seconds.
The torque of the flywheel is directly proportional to its speed. This means that as the speed of the flywheel increases, so does the torque required to maintain that speed. In this case, the flywheel would require a higher torque to maintain a speed of 800 RPM compared to a lower speed.
