A 0.0110 kg bullet is fired at v0=554 m/s into a solid cylinder of mass 17.1 kg and radius 0.290 m (moment of inertia: I=1/2mR2). The cylinder is initially at rest and is mounted on the fixed vertical axis that runs through its center of mass. The line of motion of the bullet is perpendicular to the axle and at a distance d=5.80 cm from the axis. Find the angular velocity of the system (in rad/sec) after the bullet strikes and adheres to the surface of the cylinder.
