Flywheel is an important part of a steam engine because it – (1) accelerates the speed of the engine (2) helps the engine in keeping the speed uniform (3) decreases the moment of inertia (4) gives strength to the engine

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) helps the engine in keeping the speed uniform Explanation: A flywheel is a rotating mechanical device that is used to store rotational energy. Flywheels have a. significant moment of inertia and thus resist changes in rotational speed, enabling the engine to run at a constant, uniform motion. In the Industrial Revolution, James Watt contributed to the development of the flywheel in the steam engine.
