A 200-kg, 2.0-m-radius, merry-go-round in the shape of a flat, uniform, circular disk parallel to level ground is
rotating at 1.2 cycles/second about an axis through its center of mass and perpendicular to the ground. A 50-
kg boy jumps onto the edge of the merry-go round and lands at a fixed point. What is the angular velocity of
the merry-go-round after the boy lands on it? Hint: /cm.disk = (1/2)mR2 where m is the mass of the disk and R
is the radius of the disk.
