Question
SP1. A merry-go-round in the park has a radius of 1.8 m and a
rotational inertia of 900 kg-m². A child pushes the merry-
go-round with a constant force of 80 N applied at the edge
and parallel to the edge. A frictional torque of 12 N-m acts
at the axle of the merry-go-round.
a. What is the net torque acting on the merry-go-round
about its axle?
b. What is the rotational acceleration of the merry-go-
round?
c. At this rate, what will the rotational velocity of the
merry-go-round be after 15 s if it starts from rest?
d. What is the rotational acceleration of the merry-go-
round if the child stops pushing after 15 s? How long
will it take for the merry-go-round to stop turning?
