c,d,e,f

(5 %) Problem 20: A merry-go-round is a playground ride that consists of a large disk mounted to that it can freely rotate in a horizontal plane. The merry-go-round shown is initially at rest, has a radius R = 1.1 meters, and a mass M= 206 kg. A small boy of mass m - 41 kg runs tangentially to the merry-go-round at a speed of v -2.5 m/s, and jumps on Randomized Variables R= 1.1 meters M=206 ke m=41k v 2.5 m/s Otheexpertta.com 17% Part (a) Calculate the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, in kg-m2 17% Part b) Immediately before the boy Jumps on the merry go round, calculate his angular speed (in radians second) about the central axis of the merry-go-round ?.. 17% Part (c) Immediately after the boy i umps On the merry go round, calculate the angular speed in radians/second of the merry-go-round and boy Grade Summary Deductions Potential Late Work % 80% Late Potential 80% 2(2.273*41 * (1.1)2)M 0% 400% 7 89 HOME cosO cotan)asinO Sin ? acoso Submissions Attempts remaining: 10 1 2 3 atan)acotan(O coshO tanh0 cotanhO % per attempt) detailed view 0 END Degrees Radians VO BACKSPACECLEAR Submit Hint Hints: 1 % deduction per hint.

He decides to crawl to the outer edge of the merry-go-round and jump in radians/second of the merry-go-round after the boy jumps off?

Explanation / Answer

a) I = 0.5*M*R^2

= 0.5*206*1.1^2

= 124.6 kg.m^2

b) w = v/R

= 2.5/1.1

= 2.27 rad/s

c) Apply conservation of angular momentum

final angular momentum = initial angulau momentum

(0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)*w2 = m*v*R

==> wf = m*v*R/(0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)

= 41*2.5*1.1/(0.5*206*1.1^2 + 41*1.1^2)

= 0.647 rad/s


d)
Again apply conservation of angular momentum

(0.5*M*R^2 + m*(R/2)^2)*w3 = (0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)*w2

w3 = (0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)*w2/(0.5*M*R^2 + m*(R/2)^2)

= (0.5*206*1.1^2 + 41*1.1^2)*0.647/(0.5*206*1.1^2 + 41*(1.1/2)^2)

= 0.823 rad/s


e)

Again apply conservation of angular momentum

0.5*M*R^2*w4 = (0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)*w2

w4 = (0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)*w2/(0.5*M*R^2)

= (0.5*206*1.1^2 + 41*1.1^2)*0.647/(0.5*206*1.1^2)

= 0.904 rad/s

e) 0.5*m*R^2*wf = (0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)*w2

wf = (0.5*M*R^2 + m*R^2)*w2/(0.5*m*R^2)

= (0.5*206*1.1^2 + 41*1.1^2)*0.647/(0.5*206*1.1^2)

= 0.904 rad/s
