A merry-go-round with a radius R = 1.6 m and moment of inertia I= 150 kg-m2 is spinning along with a person of mass m = 74 kgstanding at the rim with an angular speed of ? = 2 rad/s. Once theperson gets half way around, he decides to simply let go of themerry-go-round to exit the ride. What is the linear velocity of the person right as heleaves the merry-go-round? What is the angular speed of the merry-go-round after theperson lets go?
