A merry-go-round of mass M=120kg and radius 5m rotates with an angular velocity ωo=3rad/s. A block of mass MA=90kg sits a distance RA=4m from the axis of rotation. At time t=0s, Bob (mB=70kg) jumps on the merry-go-round so that he lands a distance of RB=3m from the axis of rotation. Assume the merry-go-round has a moment of inertia given by: I=MR2/2.
a) What are the moments of inertia of the system before (just MA and merry-go-round) and after (MA, merry-go-round, and Bob) Bob jumps on?
b) What is the angular velocity of the system after Bob jumps on?
c) If Bob wants the merry go round to return to its original angular velocity, where should he place the mass MA, assuming he stays at RB?
d) Determine the Kinetic energy of the system before Bob jumps on (KEo), after Bob jumps on(KE'), and after Bob moves the mass in part c (KE'')
