A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.63 m and moment of inertia I = 196 kg-m2 is spinning with an initial angular speed of

ω = 1.53 rad/s in the counter clockwise direection when viewed from above. A person with mass m = 73 kg and velocity v = 4.2 m/s runs on a path tangent to the merry-go-round. Once at the merry-go-round the person jumps on and holds on to the rim of the merry-go-round.

Answer:

1) L = 299.88 kg-m²/s

2) L = 613.2 kg-m²/s

3) L = 499.758 kg-m²/s

4) ω₁ = 0.769 rad/s

5) Fc = 70.3686 N

6) v = 1.2535 m/s

7) ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

Explanation:

Given

R = 1.63 m

I₀ = 196 kg-m²

ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

m = 73 kg

v = 4.2 m/s

1) What is the magnitude of the initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round?

We use the equation

L = I₀*ω₀ = 196 kg-m²*1.53 rad/s = 299.88 kg-m²/s

2) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person 2 meters before she jumps on the merry-go-round?

We use the equation

L = m*v*Rp = 73 kg*4.2 m/s*2.00 m = 613.2 kg-m²/s

3) What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the person just before she jumps on to the merry-go-round?

We use the equation

L = m*v*R = 73 kg*4.2 m/s*1.63 m = 499.758 kg-m²/s

4) What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the person jumps on?

We can apply The Principle of Conservation of Angular Momentum

L in = L fin

⇒ I₀*ω₀ = I₁*ω₁

where

I₁ = I₀ + m*R²

⇒  I₀*ω₀ = (I₀ + m*R²)*ω₁

Now, we can get ω₁

⇒  ω₁ = I₀*ω₀ / (I₀ + m*R²)

⇒  ω₁ = 196 kg-m²*1.53 rad/s / (196 kg-m² + 73 kg*(1.63 m)²)

⇒  ω₁ = 0.769 rad/s

5) Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed, with what force does the person need to hold on?

We have to get the centripetal force as follows

Fc = m*ω²*R  

⇒  Fc = 73 kg*(0.769 rad/s)²*1.63 m = 70.3686 N

6) Once the person gets half way around, they decide to simply let go of the merry-go-round to exit the ride.

What is the linear velocity of the person right as they leave the merry-go-round?

we can use the equation

v = ω₁*R = 0.769 rad/s*1.63 m = 1.2535 m/s

7) What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the person lets go?

ω₀ = 1.53 rad/s

It comes back to its initial angular speed
