A playground merry-go-round of radius R = 1.20 m has a moment of inertia I = 230 kgm2 and is rotating at 10.0 rev/min about a frictionless vertical axle. Facing the axle, a 23.0 kg child hops onto the merry-go-round and manages to sit down on its edge. What is the new angular speed of the merry-go-round?
Little bit of a problem with this one. How does the moment of inertia change when the 23 kg child steps on...Do you need to use angular momentum conservation?
