A bicycle wheel of radius 0.3 m has a rim of mass 1.0 kg and 50 spokes, each of mass 0.01 kg. What is its moment of inertia about its axis of rotation ?

Explanation

To find the moment of inertia of the bicycle wheel about its axis of rotation, we need to consider both the rim and the spokes of the wheel.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the components**:
- The wheel consists of a rim and spokes.
- The mass of the rim (M_rim) = 1.0 kg.
- The radius of the wheel (R) = 0.3 m.
