Hi there!
We can use the conservation of angular momentum to solve.
Recall the equation for angular momentum:
We can begin by writing out the scenario as a conservation of angular momentum:
= moment of inertia of the merry-go-round (kgm²)
= angular velocity of merry go round (rad/sec)
= final angular velocity of COMBINED objects (rad/sec)
= moment of inertia of boy (kgm²)
= angular velocity of the boy (rad/sec)
The only value not explicitly given is the moment of inertia of the boy.
Since he stands along the edge of the merry go round:
We are given that he jumps on the merry-go-round at a speed of 5 m/s. Use the following relation:
Plug in the given values:
Now, we must solve for the boy's moment of inertia:
Use the above equation for conservation of momentum:
To solve the exercise it is necessary to keep in mind the concepts about the ideal gas equation and the volume in the cube.
However, for this case the Boyle equation will not be used, but the one that corresponds to the Boltzmann equation for ideal gas, in this way it is understood that
Where,
N = Number of molecules
k = Boltzmann constant
V = Volume
T = Temperature
P = Pressure
Our values are given as,
Rearrange the equation to find V we have,
We know that length of a cube is given by
Therefore the Length would be given as,
Therefore each length of the cube is 3.44nm
