Answer:
r = 20 m
Explanation:
The formula for the angular momentum of a rotating body is given as:
L = mvr
where,
L = Angular Momentum = 10000 kgm²/s
m = mass
v = speed = 2 m/s
r = radius of merry-go-round
Therefore,
10000 kg.m²/s = mr(2 m/s)
m r = (10000 kg.m²/s)/(2 m/s)
m r = 5000 kg.m ------------- equation 1
Now, the moment of inertia of a solid uniform disc about its axis through its center is given as:
I = (1/2) m r²
where,
I = moment of inertia = 50000 kg.m²
Therefore,
50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(m r)(r)
using equation 1, we get:
50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(5000 kg.m)(r)
(50000 kg.m²)/(2500 kg.m) = r
<u>r = 20 m</u>
