but how do we solve for acceleration when we don't know the friction force either?

My angular acceleration is wrong but all I had done was torque which was 110 NM / I = 930 kg-m^2 and calculated 0.118 rad/s^2. But because this is wrong I am stuck and I have no idea how to find angular velocity to plug into the equation to find linear acceleration.

yes I just attached it^^

What I did was plug in the outer radius time the force into the torque and then the mass moment of inertia is equal to m*ro^2 so then I plugged in the mass times the radius of gyration squared into I and solved for a but this is not right.

Dylan exerts a constant force of 98 N on a merry-go-round 15° from the tangential direction and is able to accelerate the ride and his friends from rest to a final angular speed of 11 rpm. The merry-go-round has a mass of 850 kg, a radius of 2.6 m, and a radius of gyration about the center of...

11 rpm equals 1.15 rad/ sec not sure how this helps contribute to the question but I solved for it just in case
