A playground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.6 m and a moment of inertia of 200 kg-m2 and turns with negligible friction about

a vertical axle through its center. A child applies a 26.0 N force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for 15.0 seconds. If the merry-go-round is initially at rest, how much work did the child do on the merry-go-round?

Answer:

8050 J

Explanation:

Given:

r = 4.6 m

I = 200 kg m²

F = 26.0 N

t = 15.0 s

First, find the angular acceleration.

∑τ = Iα

Fr = Iα

α = Fr / I

α = (26.0 N) (4.6 m) / (200 kg m²)

α = 0.598 rad/s²

Now you can find the final angular velocity, then use that to find the rotational energy:

ω = αt

ω = (0.598 rad/s²) (15.0 s)

ω = 8.97 rad/s

W = ½ I ω²

W = ½ (200 kg m²) (8.97 rad/s)²

W = 8050 J

Or you can find the angular displacement and find the work done that way:

θ = θ₀ + ω₀ t + ½ αt²

θ = ½ (0.598 rad/s²) (15.0 s)²

θ = 67.3 rad

W = τθ

W = Frθ

W = (26.0 N) (4.6 m) (67.3 rad)

W = 8050 J
