Solution:

The flywheel of a steam engine has a radius of gyration of 1 m and mass of 2500 kg. The starting torque of the steam engine is 1500 N⋅m and may be assumed constant. The angular acceleration of the flywheel is 0.6 rad/s².

Determine the kinetic energy of the flywheel after 10 seconds from the start.
