A 325-kg merry-go-round with a radius of 1.50 m is spinning counterclockwise, as viewed from above, at 4.60 rad/s. A 37.0-kg child is hanging on tightly 1.25 m from the rotation axis. Her father applies friction to the outer rim to slow the merry-go-round lo a stop in 5 s. Model the merry-go-round as a solid disk, and define counterclockwise as the positive direction of rotation. How much torque r must the child's father apply? N-m
