A 416 kg merry-go-round in the shape of a horizontal disk with a radius of 1.7 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the rim of the disk and pulling on the rope. How large a torque would have to be exerted to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 3.7 rad/s in 2.9 s

Answerthe energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.explanationwe define electric potential as the ratio electric potential energy to the charge,    then the following gives us the potential difference,      the formula  may be on your formula sheet.the change in electric potential energy would be the energy that would needed to move it from point a to point b. solving for that, we get    using q = 8.00  × 10⁻¹⁹ c and  δv = 2.00 v, we get    the energy required is 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁸ j, to three significant figures.
