You are trying to get a better feel for the effect of geometry and mass distribution on the moment of inertia. You have a solid disk and a thin ring, each of radius, r = 1.30 m, and mass, m = 73.0 kg. You mount both on fixed, horizontal frictionless axes about which they can spin freely. Then you spin them both. (a) How much work do you need to do to get each object to spin at 3.00 rad/s? (b) Let us assume that you have been causing them to spin by using a constant force applied tangentially to their circumferences. If the above speed is to be reached within 0.700 s, what is the magnitude of the force you need to apply to each object? (c) You next attempt to stop each object by pressing one finger on each side of each object, right at the outer edge. The coefficient of kinetic friction between each finger and the surface of each object is 0.300. Find the minimum force you have to apply to stop each object within 1.00 min.
