Ques:

A merry-go-round is a common piece of playground equipment. A 3.0-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 240kg is spinning at 20rpm. John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 4.0m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. John's mass is 30 kg.

What is the merry-go-round's angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?

A playground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.20 {\rm m} and amoment of inertia of 255 kg m^2 and turns with negligible frictionabout a vertical axle through its center.

1)A child applies a 20.0 {\rm N} force tangentially to the edge ofthe merry-go-round for 22.0 {\rm s}. If the merry-go-round isinitially at rest, what is its angular velocity after this 22.0{\rm s} interval?

2)How much work did the child do on the merry-go-round?

3)What is the average power supplied by the child?
