Max (15 kg) and maya (12 kg) are riding on a merry-go-round that rotates at a constant speed. max is sitting on the edge of the

merry-go-round, 2.4 m from the center, and maya is sitting somewhere between the edge and the center. the merry-go-round is a solid disk with a radius of 2.4 m, a mass of 230 kg, and is rotating at a constant rate of 0.75 rev/s. the system, which includes max, maya, and the merry-go-round, has 8700 j of rotational kinetic energy. how far away is maya from the center of the merry-go-round?

Refer to the diagram shown below.
M = 230 kg, the mass of the wheel
m₁ = 15 kg, Max's mass
m₂ = 12 kg, Maya's mass
r = 2.4 m, the radius of the wheel

Max is located at 2.4 m from the center of the weel.
Let x =  the distance of Maya from the center of the wheel.

The polar moment of inertias of the system is
J = (1/2)Mr²   (for the wheel)
    + m₁r²       (for Max)
    + m₂x²      (for Maya)
That is,
J = 0.5*(230)*(2.4)² + (15)*(2.4)² + (12)x²  kg-m²
   = 748.8 + 12x² kg-m²

The angular velocity is
ω = 0.75 rev/s = (0.75*2π) rad/s = 4.7124 rad/s

By definition, the rotational KE is
KE = (1/2)*J*ω²

Because the rotational KE is 8700 J, therefore
(1/2)*(748.8 + 12x²)*(4.7124)² = 8700
11.1034(748.8 + 12x²) = 8700
748.8 + 12x² = 783.547
12x² = 34.747
x = 1.702 m

Answer: 1.7 m (nearest tenth)

How can we magnetise a piece of iron.
liq [111]
Place the magnet at one end of the piece of metal. The magnet must make as much contact with the metal as possible. Place light pressure on the magnet and rub the metal in one direction only. Magnetization will take some time to accomplish so continue rubbing until the iron or steel attracts other pieces of metal.
