Solution :
Given data :
Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg
Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m
Angular speed, rev/sec
rad/sec
= 5.89 rad/sec
Therefore, force required,
= 427126.9 N
Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :
W = F x r
= 427126.9 x 7.5
= 3,203,451.75 J
Answer:
a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴) , a_total = 2,236 m
Explanation:
The total acceleration of a body, if we use the Pythagorean theorem is
a_total² = a_T²2 + ²
where
the centripetal acceleration is
a_{c} = v² / r = w r²
tangential acceleration
a_T = dv / dt
angular and linear acceleration are related
a_T = α r
we substitute in the first equation
a_total = √ [(α r)² + (w r² )²]
a_total = 2 √ (α² + w⁴)
Let's find the angular velocity for t = 2 s if we start from rest wo = 0
w = w₀ + α t
w = 0 + 1.0 2
w = 2.0rad / s
we substitute
a_total = r √(1² + 2²) = r √5
a_total = r 2,236
In order to finish the calculation we need the radius to point A, suppose that this point is at a distance of r = 1 m
a_total = 2,236 m
