Question: Suppose that a merry - go - round, which can be approximated as a disk, has no one on it , but it is rotating

Suppose that a merry-go-round, which can be approximated as a disk, has no one on it, but it is rotating about a central vertical axis at 0.2 revolutions per second. If a 100kg100kg man quickly sits down on the edge of it, what will be its new speed? (A disk rotating about its middle has a moment of inertia I=12mR2I=21mR2, mass of merry-go-round =200kg200kg, radius of merry-go-round =6.0m6.0m)
