A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the merry-go-round as a solid cylinder and determine the net work needed for this acceleration.

Respuesta :

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, [tex]$\omega = \frac{1}{8}$[/tex]  rev/sec

                             [tex]$=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$[/tex]  rad/sec

                              = 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

[tex]$F=m.\omega^2.r$[/tex]

   [tex]$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5[/tex]  

   = 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
