Question: ( 1 4 pts ) A merry - go - round is a solid cylinder platform with the mass M = 1 0 0 kg

(14 pts) A merry-go-round is a solid cylinder platform with the mass
M=100kg, radius r=1.50m, and a frictionless axle at the center. Two students
with masses m_(1)=70.0kg and m_(2)=65.0kg are standing at the rim of the
platform. The platform is initially at rest. A third student, standing on the
ground, applies a constant force tangential to the rim, spinning it up with an
angular acceleration of 0.450ra(d)/(s^(2)).(e)(4 pts) The two students on the platform move towards the center of the platform. What is the angular speed of the platform when they are at the center?
