Question: In a playground there is a small merry - go - round of radius 1 . 6 2 m and mass 1 5 9 kg

In a playground there is a small merry-go-round of radius 1.62 m and mass 159 kg. The radius of gyration is 0.987 m. A child of mass 46.6 kg runs at a speed of 3.14 m/s tangent to the rim of the merry-go-round while it is at rest, and then jumps on. Find the angular velocity (in radians/second) of the merry-go-round and child together. Neglect friction.
