Question

In the case of a flywheel, the maximum fluctuation of energy is the:

• A. Sum of the maximum and minimum energies
• B. Difference between the maximum and minimum energies
• C. Variations of energy above the mean resisting torque line
• D. Variations of energy below the mean resisting torque line

Hint:

The capacity of a flywheel to reduce fluctuations in energy output is a key factor in designing engines and other machinery that require smooth operational cycles.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Understanding flywheel energy dynamics.
The maximum fluctuation of energy in a flywheel is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum energies stored in the flywheel. This difference is critical for determining the flywheel's ability to smooth out energy variations in mechanical systems.
