Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me understand the physics involved in a rotating object.
Imagine 2 bicycle tires of different sizes with string wrapped around the rims.
How would I describe or calculate which tire requires less force to start spinning, or the change in force necessary to accommodate different diameter tires?
I would also like to understand how to describe what a change in a tires mass distribution does to affect the force needed for startup. ie, what happens when weight is added near the center of the tire as opposed to around the rim?
My appologies for a very basic question. Thank you for your help!
