A large turntable rotates about a fixed vertical axis, making one revolution in 5.50 s. A child of mass 32.0 kg, initially standing at the center of the turntable, runs out along a radius. When the child is 2.10 m from the center, the turntable makes one revolution in 6.70 s. What is the moment of inertia of the turntable? Note that you can treat the child as a point particle.

A large turntable rotates about a fixed vertical axis, making one revolution in 5.50
s. A child of mass 32.0 kg, initially standing at the center of the turntable, runs
out along a radius. When the child is 2.10 m from the center, the turntable makes
one revolution in 6.70 s. What is the moment of inertia of the turntable? Note that
you can treat the child as a point particle.
