$A$ wheel of radius $0.4 \,m$ can rotate freely about its axis as shown in the figure. $A$ string is wrapped over its rim and a mass of $4 \,kg$ is hung. An angular acceleration of $8 \,rad \,s^{-2}$ is produced in it due to the torque. Then, the moment of inertia of the wheel is $(g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2})$.

  • A
    $2 \,kg \,m^2$
  • B
