Question: rotational kinematics, gravity : 1 . ( a ) Calculate the Earth's mass given that g at the North Pole is ( 9 .

rotational kinematics, gravity :
1.(a) Calculate the Earth's mass given that g at the North Pole is \(9.830\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}^{2}\) and the radius of the Earth is 6371 km from pole to pole.
(b) Compare your value with the accepted value of \(5.979\times 10^{24}\mathrm{~kg}\).
2. Two children are balanced on a seesaw (teeter-toter) of negligible mass. The first child has a mass of 22.0 kg and sits 1.50 m from the pivot. (a) If the second child has a mass of 35.0 kg , how far is she from the pivot? (b) What is \(\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{n}}\), the supporting force exerted by the |pivot?
3. Consider a father pushing a playground merry-go-round with a force of 200 N at the edge of the \(50.0-\mathrm{kg}\) merry-go-round, which has a 2.00 m radius. Calculate the angular acceleration produced when an \(18.0-\mathrm{kg}\) child sits 1.25 m away from the center. Consider the merry-go-round as a uniform disk with negligible friction.
