Question
A dad pushes tangentially on a small hand-driven merry-go-round and is able to accelerate it from rest to a frequency of 14 rpm in 12.0 s . Assume the merry-go-round is a uniform disk of radius 2.5 mm and has a mass of 560 kg, and two children (each with a mass of 25 kg) sit opposite each other on the edge. Calculate the torque required to produce the acceleration, neglecting frictional torque. What force is required at the edge?

- 36. A uniform disk has a mass of 3.7 kg and a radius of 0.38 m. The disk is mounted on frictionless bearings and is used as a turntable. The turntable is initially rotating at 20 rpm. A thin-walled hollow cylinder has the same mass and radius as the disk. It is released from rest, just above the turntable, and on the same vertical axis. The hollow cylinder quickly aquires the same final angular velocity as the turntable.

A person standing still on the ground grabs onto one of the bars on the carousel very close to its outer edge and climbs aboard. Thus, this person begins with an angular speed of zero and ends up with a nonzero angular speed, which means that he underwent a counterclockwise angular acceleration. The carousel has a radius of 1.69 m, an initial angular speed of 3.27 rad/s, and a moment of inertia of 126 kg-m². The mass of the person is 44.1 kg.

The tire is released from rest at the top of a hill and it rolls without slipping to the bottom. “Rolls without slipping” means that the linear velocity of the center of mass is equal to the tangential velocity at the edge of the tire.
