Terror Twins Steve and Phil are playing on a very large merry-go-round coated with ice (frictionless). mSteve =mPhil = 47.6 kg. The merry-go-round is spinning at a constant rate of revolution as the Terror Twins ride on it. Steve sitting 2.00 m from the center and must hold on to one of the metal posts with a horizontal force of 80.0 N to keep from sliding off. If Phil is sitting at the edge 4.00 m from the center, with what force must he hold on to keep from falling off?

A figure skater has a moment of inertia of 0.45 kg-m2. He is spinning at 315.6 rpm. He extends his arms until he slows down to 68.3 rpm. What is his new moment of inerta (in kg-m2)?
A 2.0 kg , 20-cm-diameter turntable rotates at 130 rpm on frictionless bearings. Two 510 g blocks fall from above, hit the turntable simultaneously at opposite ends of a diameter, and stick. What is the turntable's angular velocity, in rpm, just after this event? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A DVD is spinning at 650.133 rpm. What is the size of the angular momentum of the DVD if it has a circumference of 38.97 cm and a mass of 15.548 g? Enter your answer in kg m2/s to the thousandth's place.
An energetic father stands at the summit of a conical hill as he spins his 24 kg child around on a 5.5 kg cart with a 2.3-m-long rope. The sides of the hill are inclined at 22 ∘ to the horizontal. He keeps the rope parallel to the ground, and friction is negligible. What rope tension will allow the cart to spin with the 13 rpm?
A 2.00 kg solid disk of 20.0 cm diameter is rotating at 200.0 rpm. A 1.00 kg narrow circularloop of 20.0 cm diameter is dropped straight down onto the rotating disk. Friction causes the loop toaccelerate until it is “riding” on the disk. What is the final angular velocity of the combined system?
A ride at a carnival has four spokes to which pods are attached that can hold two people. The spokes are each 15 m long and are attached to a central axis. Each spoke has mass 200.0 kg, and the pods each have mass 100.0 kg. If the ride spins at 0.2 rev/s with each pod containing two 50.0-kg children, what is the new spin rate if all the children jump off the ride?
