Answer:
The torque acting on the body is, τ = 374,736 kg m² s⁻²
Explanation:
Given data,
The moment of inertia of merry go round, 'I' = 84.4 kg m²
The angular velocity of merry go round, 'α' = 4.44 rad/s²
Substituting the values,
τ = 84.4 kg m² x 4.44 rad/s²
= 374,736 kg m² s⁻²
Hence, the torque acting on the body is, τ = 374,736 kg m² s⁻²
