A metal disc in a playground with a mass of 45 kg and a diameter of 4 meters is rotating on its central frictionless axis with an initial angular velocity of 3 rad/s. A child with a mass of 14 kg suddenly jumps unto the disc and stands on the edge. a.What is the new angular velocity of the disc with the kid on it? b. What is the tangential velocity of the kid as he rides the disc?
