A disk of negligible mass and radius 21 cm is constrained to rotate on a frictionless axis about its center. On the disk are mounted masses of 15 grams at a distance of 16.8 cm from the center, 16 grams data distance of 9.87 cm from the center and 38 grams at a distance of 7.98 cm from the center. A uniform force of .7981 Newtons is applied at the rim of the disk in a direction tangent to the disk.
• What will be the angular acceleration of the disk?
• If the force is applied for 7 seconds with the disk initially at rest, what angular velocity with the disk attain?
• What then will be the speed of each of the masses?
• What will be their total kinetic energy?
• Compare the total kinetic energy to the change in the quantity .5 I `omega^2.
