Question
A Lazy Susan (M=0.5 kg) in the shape of a disk is free to rotate about its center without
friction. It is initially motionless when a Texas-sized cockroach (m=10 g) starts running
CCW along the rim. The angular speed of the Lazy Susan is then 1 rad/sec. With what
speed is the cockroach running (in the rest frame of the table, not the Lazy Susan)?
We symbolically solve the problem without the value of R
