Answer:
Moment of inertia of the system is 289.088 kg.m^2
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the platform which is a uniform disk = 129 kg
Radius of the disk rotating about vertical axis = 1.61 m
Mass of the person standing on platform = 65.7 kg
Distance from the center of platform = 1.07 m
Mass of the dog on the platform = 27.3 kg
Distance from center of platform = 1.31 m
We have to calculate the moment of inertia.
Formula:
MOI of disk =
Moment of inertia of the person and the dog will be mr^2.
Where m and r are different for both the bodies.
So,
Moment of inertia of the system with respect to the axis yy.
