Question: A 5 . 5 m diameter merry - go - round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0 . 8 0 rad /

A 5.5 m diameter merry-go-round is rotating freely with an angular velocity of 0.80 rad/s. Its total moment of inertia is 1,900 kg.m2. Four people standing on the ground, each with a mass of 80 kg step on to the edge of the merry go-round. What is the angular velocity of the merry-go-round after the fourth person steps on to it? Provide you answer in radians per second.
