A bicycle rim has a diameter of 0.65 m and a moment of inertia, measured about its center, of 0.21 kg⋅m2What is the mass of the rim?

m = 1.99 kg = 2 kg

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of a bicycle rim about it's center is given by the following formula:

where,

I = Moment of Inertia of the Bicycle Rim = 0.21 kg.m²

r = Radius of the Bicycle Rim = Diameter of the Bicycle Rim/2

r = 0.65 m/2 = 0.325 m

m = Mass of the Bicycle Rim = ?

Therefore,

m = 1.99 kg = 2 kg
