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 m 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?

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. Find the final angular speed of the carousel after the person climbs aboard.arrow_forward

Calculate the angular acceleration produced if 95.0% of this torque is applied to the drive shaft, axle, and rear wheels of a car, given the following information. The car is suspended so that the wheels can turn freely. Each wheel acts like a 15.0 kg disk that has a 0.180 m radius. The walls of each tire act like a 2.00-kg annular ring that has inside radius of 0.180 m and outside radius of 0.320 m. The tread of each tire acts like a 10.0-kg hoop of radius 0.330 m. The 14.0-kg axle acts like a rod that has a 2.00-cm radius. The 30.0-kg drive shaft acts like a rod that has a 3.20-cm radius.arrow_forwardA student holds a bike wheel and starts it spinning with an initial angular speed of 9.0rotations per second. The wheel is subject to some friction, so it gradually slows down. In the 10 s period following the inital spin, the bike wheel undergoes 70 complete rotations. Assuming the frictional torque remains constant, how much more time Δts will it take the bike wheel to come to a complete stop? The bike wheel has a mass of 0.625 kg and a radius of 0.315 m. If all the mass of the wheel is assumed to be located on the rim, find the magnitude of the frictional torque τf that was acting on the spinning wheel.arrow_forward
