25. A motor equipped with a flywheel as to supply a load torque of 600 N-m. for 10
sec followed by no load period long enough for the flywheel to regain its full load
speed. It is desired to limit the motor torque 450 N-m. What should be the
moment of inertia of flywheel? No load speed of the motor is 600 rpm & it has a
slip of 8% at rated torque of 450 N-m. (Assume J of motor= 10Kg-m2).
26. A motor has a heating time constant of 45 minutes and cooling time constant of
