8 To determine the location of his center of mass a physics student lies on a lightweight plank

supported by two scales 250 m apart The left scale reads 290 N and the right scale reads 122 N

(Hint the readings correspond to the normal forces exerted on the plank)

a Draw a free-body diagram

b Find the studentrsquos mass

9 A teenager pushes tangentially on a small hand-driven merry-go-round and is able to

accelerate it from rest to an angular velocity of 175 rads in 100 s Assume the merry-go-

round is a uniform disk of radius 250 m and has a mass of 760 kg and two children (each

with a mass of 250 kg) sit opposite each other on the edge

a What angular acceleration is required to reach 175 rads velocity in 100 s

= 0 + t

= ( - 0) t

= (175 rads) (100 s) = 0175 rads2

c What is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round with two children on it

I = frac12 M R2 + m R

2 + m R

2 = frac12 (760 kg)(250 m)

2 + 2 (250 kg)(250 m)

2 = 2688 kg m

2

b Calculate the torque required to produce the acceleration neglecting frictional torque

= I

= (2688 kgm2)(0175 rads

2) = 470 N-m

Bonus (5 points) What is the magnitude of the tangential force required to produce this torque

moment of inertia of 500 kg-m2 relative to this axis The children have the same masses of 250 kg

and sit at distances of 100 m and 200 m away from the center of merry-go-round The radius of

marry-go-round is 300 m

a What is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round with the children on it

relative to the center of rotation

I = 500 kg-m2 +(250 kg)(100 m)

2 + (250 kg)(200 m)

2 = 625 kg-m

2

b Amanda David and Rotasha pull the merry-go-round with tangential forces as

shown in the figure (The magnitudes are A = 300 N D = 150 N R = 200 N)

What is the net torque that they exert on the merry-go-round

= (300 N)(300 m) + (200 N)(300 m) ndash (150 N)(300 m) = 1050 N-m

c What is the angular acceleration of the merry-go-round

I = (1050 N-m)(625 kg-m2) = 168 rads
