Engineers have proposed that large flywheels be used for the temporary storage of surplus energy generated by electric power plants. A suitable flywheel would have a diameter of 3.6 m, a mass of 300 metric tons, and spin at 3000 revolutions per minute. What is the kinetic energy of rotation of this flywheel? Give the answer in both joules and kilowatt-hours. Assume that the moment of inertia of the flywheel is that of a uniform disk.
