Problem 75P
A child of mass m stands at rest near the rim of a stationary merry-go-round of radius R and moment of inertia I. The child now begins to walk around the circumference of the merry-go-round with a tangential speed v with respect to the merry-go-round's surface. (a) What is the child's speed with respect to the ground? Check your results in the limits (b) I → 0 and (c) I →∞

Problem 75P
A child of mass m stands at rest near the rim of a stationary merry-go-round of radius R and moment of inertia I. The child now begins to walk around the circumference of the merry-go-round with a tangential speed v with respect to the merry-go-round's surface. (a) What is the child's speed with respect to the ground? Check your results in the limits (b) I → 0 and (c) I →∞
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
In this question, we need to find speed of child with respect to the ground
In part b, we need to check the results of part a as moment of inertia
In part b, we need to check the results of part a as moment of inertia
Data given
Mass of child
Radius of merry-go-round
Moment of inertia
Tangential speed as the child walks
