Answer

$I = 0.976~kg~m^2$

Work Step by Step

We can find the angular acceleration $\alpha$ $\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha ~t^2$ $\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}$ $\alpha = \frac{(2)(8.20~rev)(2\pi~rad/rev)}{(12.0~s)^2}$ $\alpha = 0.7156~rad/s^2$ We can find the angular speed $\omega$ at $t = 12.0~s$: $\omega = \alpha ~t = (0.7156~rad/s^2)(12.0~s)$ $\omega = 8.587~rad/s$ We can find the moment of inertia $I$. $K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = 36.0~J$ $I = \frac{72.0~J}{\omega^2}$ $I = \frac{72.0~J}{(8.587~rad/s)^2}$ $I = 0.976~kg~m^2$
