Answer:
The kinetic energy of the merry-goround after 3.62 s is 544J
Explanation:
Given :
Weight w = 745 N
Radius r = 1.45 m
Force = 56.3 N
To Find:
The kinetic energy of the merry-go round after 3.62 = ?
Solution:
Step 1: Finding the Mass of merry-go-round
m = 76.02 kg
Step 2: Finding the Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder
Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I =
Substituting the values
Moment of Inertia of solid cylinder I
=>
=>
=>
Step 3: Finding the Torque applied T
Torque applied T =
Substituting the values
T =
T = 81.635 N.m
Step 4: Finding the Angular acceleration
Angular acceleration ,
Substituting the values,
Step 4: Finding the Final angular velocity
Final angular velocity ,
Substituting the values,
Now KE (100% rotational) after 3.62s is:
KE =
KE =
KE = 544J
