A 170-kg merry-go-round of radius 2.10 m is rotated by pulling a rope that is wrapped around its edge. What is the magnitude of the force (assume it to be constant) on the rope needed to bring the merry- go-round from rest to an angular speed of 0.400 rev/s in 3.00 s? (The moment of inertia of merry-go- round is 1/2MR2).
