A merry-go-round with a a radius of R = 1.86 m and moment ofinertia I = 207 kg-m2 is spinning with an initialangular speed of ω = 1.58 rad/s in the counter clockwise direectionwhen viewed from above. A person with mass m = 68 kg and velocity v= 4.6 m/s runs on a path tangent to the merry-go-round. Once at themerry-go-round the person jumps on and holds on to the rim of themerry-go-round.
4)What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after theperson jumps on?
rad/s
5)Once the merry-go-round travels at this new angular speed,with what force does the person need to hold on? N
6)
Once the person gets half way around, they decide to simply letgo of the merry-go-round to exit the ride.
What is the magnitude of the linear velocity of the person rightas they leave the merry-go-round? m/s
7)What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after theperson lets go?
rad/s
