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.

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

glen is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

glen is correct because when you multiply 4 * 2 = 8.

and 4 * 3 = 12.
