Angular velocity of the wheel


A light rope is wrapped several times around a large wheel with a radius of 0.400 m. The wheel rotates in frictionless bearings about a stationary horizontal axis, as shown in the figure . The free end of the rope is tied to a suitcase with a mass of 15.0 kg. The suitcase is released from rest at a height of 4.00 m above the ground. The suitcase has a speed of 3.50 m/s when it reaches the ground.

Calculate the angular velocity of the wheel when the suitcase reaches the ground. Calculate the moment of inertia of the wheel.
