A 4.5-m-diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.84 rad/s . Its total moment of inertia is 1700 kg⋅m2 . Four people standing on the ground, each of mass 68 kg , suddenly step onto the edge of the merry-go-round.
What is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round now?
What if the people were on it initially and then jumped off in a radial direction (relative to the merry-go-round)?
here,
diameter , d = 4.5 m
radius , r = d/2 = 2.25 m
initial angular velocity , w0 = 0.84 rad/s
moment of inertia , I = 1700 kg.m^2
mass of each person , m = 68 kg
a)
let the angular velocity of the merry-go-round be w
using conservation of angular momentum
I * w0 = ( I + 4 * m * r^2) * w
1700 * 0.84 = ( 1700 + 4 * 68 * 2.25^2) * w
solving for w
w = 0.46 rad/s
the new angular velocity is 0.46 rad/s
b)
let the angular velocity of the merry-go-round be w
using conservation of angular momentum
(I + 4 * m * r^2) * w0 = I * w
(1700 + 4 * 68 * 2.25^2) * 0.84 = 1700 * w
solving for w
w = 1.52 rad/s
the new angular velocity is 1.52 rad/s

A 4.0-mm-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of 400 kg⋅m2kg⋅m2 is freely rotating with an angular velocity of 2.5 rad/srad/s . Ryan, whose mass is 75 kgkg , runs on the ground around the outer edge of the merry-go-round in the opposite direction to its rotation. Still moving, he jumps directly onto the rim of the merry-go-round, bringing it (and himself) to a halt. How fast was Ryan running when he jumped on? How fast was Ryan running...

A 40.0-kg child running at 3.00 m/s suddenly jumps onto a stationary playground merry-go-round at a distance 1.50 m from the axis of rotation of the merry-go-round. The child is traveling tangential to the edge of the merry-go-round just before jumping on. The moment of inertia about its axis of rotation is 600 kg ? m2 and very little friction at its rotation axis. What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round just after the child has jumped onto it?...
4. Cons ider the case of a rotating merry-go-round platform of mass of 310 kg and radius 3.40 m. A person of mass 85 kg is standing on the outer edge of the merry-go-round platform. The merry-go- round platform with the person standing on its edge, rotates without friction about its central vertical axle with an angular speed of 2.30 rad/s. The person then jumps off the merry-go-round along a line radially outward from the central axle of the platform....
