Question: A large horizontal circular platform ( M = 1 0 1 kg , r = 4 . 6 3 m ) rotates about a frictionless

A large horizontal circular platform (M=101 kg, r=4.63 m) rotates about a frictionless vertical axle. A student (m=76.91 kg) walks slowly from the rim of the platform toward the center. The angular velocity of the system is 3.66 rad/s when the student is at the rim.
Find the moment of inertia of platform through the center with respect to the z-axis.
