merry-go-round, which is a uniform circular disk of radius 2 m and
mass 200 kg. Assume that the student can be treated as a point
mass.
If the merry-go-round rotates at an angular velocity of 2 rad/s
around its axis, what is the angular momentum of the system
consisting of a student plus merry-go-round around the axis of
rotation of the platform?
a) 200 kg-m2/s
(b) 100 kg-m2/s
(c) 60 kg-m2/s
(d) 520 kg-m2/s
(e) 1280 kg-m2/s
