Okay, so look, it's very natural that R is the disk radius,
-
and r is some point inside.
-
But I was not planning to put this guy in the platform,
-
so I just used a random symbol.
-
Does everybody understand now?
-
For the moment of computation, it's the radius of the disk.
-
For the moment of inertia of the little person
-
we put on this r^2.
-
Okay, so that's the simplest example of using τ=I·α.
-
Once the rockets start burning, you got this α.
-
I can ask you things like,

"How many degrees has it rotated after 19 seconds?"
