A 140-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the rim of the disk and pulling on the rope. What constant force would have to be exerted on the rope to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 0.800 rev/s in 2.00 s

The constant force is 263.55 newtons

Explanation:

There's a rotational version of the Newton's second law that relates the net torque on an object with its angular acceleration by the equation:

(1)

with τ the net torque and α the angular acceleration. It’s interesting to note the similarity of that equation with the well-known equation F=ma. I that is the moment of inertia is like m in the linear case. The magnitude of a torque is defined as

with F the force applied in some point, r the distance of the point respect the axis rotation and θ the angle between the force and the radial vector that points toward the point the force is applied, in our case θ=90 and sinθ=1, then (1):

(2)

Because the applied force is constant the angular acceleration is constant too, and for constant angular acceleration we have that it's equal to the change of angular velocity over a period of time:

It's important to work in radian units so knowing that

(3)

The moment of inertia of a disk is:

(4)

with M the mass of the disk and R its radius, then

using the values (3) and (4) on (2)

(2)

Because the force is applied about the rim of the disk r=R=1.50:

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.

iron would move it is magnetic there is a mag field around the current in the wire
