Question: A solid disk of mass M = 3 . 3 9 kg and radius R = 1 . 3 m is initially at rest on

A solid disk of mass M=3.39 kg and radius R=1.3 m is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal axel. A blob of putty of mass m=0.3 kg strikes the edge of the disk and stick to it at a point level with the axis after falling from rest at a height h=4.32 m.
(a) What is the angular speed of the disk immediately after the putty sticks to it?
rad/s
(b) What is the lowest angular speed the disk subsequently attains.
rad/s
(c) What is the minimum value of h such that the disk will continue to rotate rather than simply oscillate back and forth after the putty hits?
m
