Explanation:
For equilibrium,
.
So,
= 0

= 
= 705.6 N
Also, for equilibrium
= 0
= 0
or, 
= 
= 176.4 N
Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.
Answer:
The angular velocity at the beginning of the interval is
.
Explanation:
Given that,
Angular acceleration 
Angular displacement 
Angular velocity 
We need to calculate the angular velocity at the beginning
Using formula of angular velocity


Where,
= angular acceleration
= angular velocity
Put the value into the formula



Hence, The angular velocity at the beginning of the interval is
.
Answer:
Explanation:
To find out the angular velocity of merry-go-round after person jumps on it , we shall apply law of conservation of ANGULAR momentum
I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁ + I₂ ) ω
I₁ is moment of inertia of disk , I₂ moment of inertia of running person , I is the moment of inertia of disk -man system , ω₁ and ω₂ are angular velocity of disc and man .
I₁ = 1/2 mr²
= .5 x 175 x 2.13²
= 396.97 kgm²
I₂ = m r²
= 55.4 x 2.13²
= 251.34 mgm²
ω₁ = .651 rev /s
= .651 x 2π rad /s
ω₂ = tangential velocity of man / radius of disc
= 3.51 / 2.13
= 1.65 rad/s
I₁ ω₁ + I₂ ω₂ = ( I₁ + I₂ ) ω
396.97 x .651 x 2π + 251.34 x 1.65 = ( 396.97 + 251.34 ) ω
ω = 3.14 rad /s
kinetic energy = 1/2 I ω²
= 3196 J

You already have to momentum of walking forward, and going back and forth are the same distance. If you go back then you would have to stop, turn and walk, but if you go forward you just have to walk.
