Question: A 4 . 5 - mm - diameter merry - go - round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0 . 7 0

A 4.5-mm-diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.70 rad/srad/s . Its total moment of inertia is 1340 kgm2kgm2. Four people standing on the ground, each of mass 63 kgkg , suddenly step onto the edge of the merry-go-round. What is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round now? What if the people were on it initially and then jumped off in a radial direction (relative to the merry-go-round)?
