Consider the child s playground merry go round wheel If the steel disk has mass of 200 kg a radius of 2 meters and a smooth low friction bearing at its center you can make it spin by apply force to the rim This torque increases the angular momentum of the disk Suppose the force is 100 newtons What mass could you pick up with a force of 100 newtons That will give you a sense of how much force this really is How long would you have to apply this force it to get the wheel spinning 2 times a minute What would happen to the rate of spin if you then jumped on the rim of the wheel with your mass of 75 kg Explain your answers
