The waterwheel is used to convert the kinetic energy of falling water into useful mechanical energy. (A) If an average of 10.0 kg of water flows into the waterwheel every second, what is the torque of the flowing water acting on the waterwheel with a radius of 2.45 m? (b) The torque exerted by water causes the wheel to move with an angular acceleration of 0.593 rad / s. Using this information, find the rotational inertia of the water wheel. Using this information, find the rotational inertia of the water wheel.
