Answer

$1.28\ kg.m^2$

Work Step by Step

Given; Torque on a wheel $\tau =32\ N.m$ Angular acceleration $\alpha = 25\ rad/s^2$ Newton's second law relation between torque and angular acceleration is $\tau = I\alpha$. We rearrange the formula and solve for $I$: $\tau = I\alpha$ $I = \frac{\tau}{\alpha} $ $I = \frac{32\ N.m}{25\ rad/s^2} $ $I =1.28\ kg.m^2$
