Question: A vinyl record with a 1 5 . 0 cm radius and a mass of 0 . 2 1 0 kg is spinning at 3

A vinyl record with a 15.0 cm radius and a mass of 0.210 kg is spinning at 33.3rpm(3.49rads) on frictionless bearings. A large beetle with a mass of 0.055 kg lands on the record (coming straight down) halfway between the center of the record and the rim. How fast is the record spinning after the beetle lands? (note: while a real record turntable has a moter driving it, for this problem assume the motor is off, and the record is just spinning freely on frictionless bearings and no external torque is applied to the system).
