Problem 7. A merry-go-round is initially rotating clockwise at
\omega _(0)=60 revolutions per minute (rpm). Two daring children, each
with a mass m=10kg, attempt to jump onto the merry-go-
round. Both run tangentially toward opposite ends of the merry-
go-round at equal speeds of 1(m)/(s). The child at point A
successfully lands on the merry-go-round. The child at point B
misses and is knocked off by a bar going back in the opposite
direction at a speed of 0.2(m)/(s). The merry-go-round has a radius
R=2m and a mass M=50kg. It can be modeled as a uniform
disk.
What is the final angular velocity of the merry-go-round?
