You are helping to design a new fire escape for your third-floor apartment. You step out the window onto a crossbar that is attached to a rope, which in turn is wound around a massive solid cylindrical flywheel that can turn on its axis.
As you fall at increasing speed, the rope causes the flywheel to turn at increasing angular velocity. Your task is to
choose a flywheel that will enable you to move at a safe 2.0 m/s when you reach 10 m below your starting position.
Your mass is 80 kg. Determine the rotational inertia and mass of the uniform 0.80 m radius flywheel you need to
buy.

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
