Who set the wheels in motion ?!

A wheel of mass 'm' and radius 'R' is rolling on a level road at a linear speed 'V'. The kinetic energy of the upper right quarter part of the wheel will be:

Details and assumptions:

  1. Consider the wheel to be of the form of a disc.
None of these 3 8 m V 2 \dfrac{3}{8}mV^2 9 π 16 48 π m V 2 \dfrac{9\pi - 16}{48\pi}mV^2 9 π + 16 48 π m V 2 \dfrac{9\pi + 16}{48\pi}mV^2

Consider the center of disc to be the origin of a Cartesian plane with x-axis parallel to the ground.

Now, taking a small element of mass d m dm at a distance of r r from the center with width d r dr and making an angle of θ \theta from the x-axis and subtending an angle d θ d\theta at the center.

Thus area covered by the element = = length * width = r d θ d r = rd\theta \cdot dr

(Since radius times the angle gives us the arc length)

Now using unitary method we get: d m = ( r d θ d r ) ( M π R 2 ) dm = \left( rd\theta \cdot dr \right) \cdot \left( \dfrac{M}{\pi R^2} \right)

Now, we can calculate the resultant velocity of his small element by considering two of its velocities: V V and ω R \omega R .

Thus the resultant velocity of the element will be:

v n e t = v 2 + ω 2 r 2 + 2 v ω r s i n θ v_{net} = \sqrt{v^2 + \omega^2r^2 + 2v\omega rsin\theta}

(Since angle between the two velocities will be ( 90 θ ) (90-\theta) )

Thus the final kinetic energy of the quarter of the wheel using proper limits will be:

K E n e t = 0 π / 2 0 R ( 1 2 ) d m v n e t 2 KE_{net} = \int\limits_0^{\pi/2} \int\limits_0^{R} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\cdot dm\cdot v_{net}^2

Thus, by solving the above expression, we get:

K E n e t = ( 9 π + 16 48 π ) m V 2 KE_{net} = \left( \dfrac{9\pi + 16}{48\pi} \right) mV^2

can u simplify after finding dm please asap.
