Three children are riding on the edge of a merry‑go‑round that has a mass of 105 kg and a radius of 1.70 m . The merry‑go‑round is spinning at 22.0 rpm . The children have masses of 22.0 , 28.0 , and 33.0 kg . If the 28.0 kg child moves to the center of the merry‑go‑round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? Ignore friction, and assume that the merry‑go‑round can be treated as a solid disk and the children as point masses.

Explanation:

Given that,

Three children of masses and their position on the merry go round

M1 = 22kg

M2 = 28kg

M3 = 33kg

They are all initially riding at the edge of the merry go round

Then, R1 = R2 = R3 = R = 1.7m

Mass of Merry go round is

M =105kg

Radius of Merry go round.

R = 1.7m

Angular velocity of Merry go round

ωi = 22 rpm

If M2 = 28 is moves to center of the merry go round then R2 = 0, what is the new angular velocity ωf

Using conservation of angular momentum

Initial angular momentum when all the children are at the edge of the merry go round is equal to the final angular momentum when the second child moves to the center of the merry go round

Then,

L(initial) = L(final)

Ii•ωi = If•ωf

So we need to find the initial and final moment of inertia

NOTE: merry go round is treated as a solid disk then I= ½MR²

I(initial)=½MR²+M1•R²+M2•R²+M3•R²

I(initial) = ½MR² + R²(M1 + M2 + M3)

I(initial) = ½ × 105 × 1.7² + 1.7²(22 + 28 + 33)

I(initial) = 151.725 + 1.7²(83)

I(initial) = 391.595 kgm²

Final moment of inertial when R2 =0

I(final)=½MR²+M1•R²+M2•R2²+M3•R²

Since R2 = 0

I(final) = ½MR²+ M1•R² + M3•R²

I(final) = ½MR² + (M1 + M3)• R²

I(final)=½ × 105 × 1.7² + ( 22 +33)•1.7²

I(final) = 151.725 + 158.95

I(final) = 310.675 kgm²

Now, applying the conservation of angular momentum

L(initial) = L(final)

Ii•ωi = If•ωf

391.595 × 22 = 310.675 × ωf

Then,

ωf = 391.595 × 22 / 310.675

ωf = 27.73 rpm

So, the final angular momentum is 27.73 revolution per minute

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
