d. 5.7 x 10⁴ J

Explanation:

I = moment of inertia of the flywheel = 0.525 kg-m²

w₀ = initial angular speed of the flywheel = 69.1 rad/s

w = final angular speed of the flywheel = 471 rad/s

W = work done by the engine on the flywheel

Work done by the engine is given as

W = (0.5) I (w² - w₀²)

Inserting the values

W = (0.5) (0.525) (471² - 69.1²)

W = 5.7 x 10⁴ J
