A merry-go-round with a moment of inertia of 880kg⋅m2 experiences a force of 74.5N applied parallel to its edge, which is 3.35m from its axis of rotation. If the force lasts for 6.4s, what is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round, assuming it starts at rest? What is the angular momentum of the merry-go-round at this time?
