question 2

Short Answer

A 24.5-kg child is standing on the outer edge of a horizontal merry-go-round that has a moment of inertia of $989 \mathrm {~kg} \cdot \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }$ about a vertical axis through its center and a radius of 2.40 m. The entire system (including the child)is initially rotating at 0.180 rev/s. Find the angular velocity if the child moves to a new position 1.10 m from the center of the merry-go-round.
