Randall D. Knight β Rotation of a Rigid Body: Problem 81
A merry-go-round is a common piece of playground equipment. A 3.0-m-diameter merry-go-round with a mass of 250 kg is spinning at 20 rpm. John runs tangent to the merry-go-round at 5.0 m/s, in the same direction that it is turning, and jumps onto the outer edge. Johnβs mass is 30 kg. What is the merry-go-roundβs angular velocity, in rpm, after John jumps on?
