Answer:
The rim of the fly wheel of an engine made heavy to concentrate more and more mass at greater perpendicular distance from axis of rotation. Due to which moment of inertia increases. It has large moment of inertia, due to which it rotates at uniform rotational speed

Answer: Most of the mass of a flywheel is concentrated at the rim so as to have moment of inertia same for the whole mass. If such a wheel gains or loses rotational energy, the change in the angular velocity is very small. Thus, a flywheel helps to maintain uniform motion.
hope this helps! :)
