A dad pushes tangentially on a small hand-driven merry-go-round and is able to accelerate it from rest to a frequency of 14rpm in 12.0s. Assume the merry-go-round is a uniform disk of radius 2.5m and has a mass of 560 kg, and two children (each with a mass of 25 kg) sit opposite each other on the edge.

(A) Calculate the torque required to produce the acceleration, neglecting frictional torque.

(B) What force is required at the edge?
