Explanation:
Since the roundabout is rotating with uniform velocity ,
input power = frictional power
frictional power = 2.5 kW
frictional torque x angular velocity = 2.5 kW
frictional torque x .47 = 2.5 kW
frictional torque = 2.5 / .47 kN .m
= 5.32 kN . m
= 5 kN.m
b )
When power is switched off , it will decelerate because of frictional torque .
