The person does 500 J of work to get the mass spinning. While spinning, the person steps onto ice (take friction out of the equation). The result is both the mass and the person are spinning around the same point in space (the mass is circling faster on a larger radius and the man is circling slower on a smaller radius). There is a point between the masses that is stationary. The iron ball has a mass of m = 10 kg.
