A 105 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.97 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 60.9 kg person stands on the platform at a distance of 1.17 m from the center, and a 28.1 kg dog sits on the platform near the person 1.31 m from the center. Find the moment of inertia of this system, consisting of the platform and its population, with respect to the axis.

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the system is 335.23 [tex]Kg. m^{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of disk [tex]M = 105[/tex] kg

Radius of disk [tex]R = 1.97[/tex] m

Mass of person [tex]m = 60.9[/tex] kg

Distance between person and axis of rotation [tex]r = 1.17[/tex] m

Mass of dog [tex]m' = 28.1[/tex] kg

Distance between dog and axis of rotation [tex]r' = 1.31[/tex] m

For finding moment of inertia of this system,

  [tex]I = MR^{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]R =[/tex] Perpendicular distance between axis of rotation and object,

[tex]M =[/tex] mass of object.

 [tex]I_{sys} = \frac{MR^{2} }{2} + mr^{2} + m'r' ^{2}[/tex]

 [tex]I_{sys} = \frac{105 \times 3.88}{2} + 60.9 \times 1.368 + 28.1 \times 1.7161[/tex]

 [tex]I_{sys} = 335.23[/tex] [tex]Kg . m^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the moment of inertia of the system is 335.23 [tex]Kg. m^{2}[/tex]
