Question
A 165-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the rim of the disk and pulling on the rope. What constant force would have to be exerted on the rope to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 0.600 rev/s in 2.00 s? (State the magnitude of the force.) N

Answer:
233.3N
Explanation:
Given:
radius ‘r’= 1.5m
mass ‘m’= 165kg
time ‘t’=2 sec
angular speed ‘ω’= 0.6 rev/s
the magnitude of a torque is given by:
τ = F . r = I . α
where, ‘α’ is the angular acceleration and ‘I’ is the rotational inertia
F= I . α/ r =>[ (
. m .
)(2π . ω/t) ]/r
F=[(
. 165 .
)(2π . 0.6/2)]/1.5
F= 233.3N
