Daggett (from the Angry Beavers) turns his living room into a giant “turntable

1. Daggett (from the Angry Beavers) turns his living room into a giant “turntable,” but forgets to pin down the furniture. As a result, the furniture flies off the turntable as it begins to spin. If a constant torque is being applied to the turntable, what happens to the angular acceleration?

2. Suppose I have a motor with a gear at the end. To increase or decrease the torque, I can add another gear to it. If I add a larger gear, would it increase or decrease the resulting torque? What if I add a smaller gear? Hint: The force between the two gears is equal
