A 28 kg potter's wheel is disc-shaped, has a radius of 35 cm, and is spinning freely. A 16 kg spherical ball of clay with a radius of 28 cm is dropped directly onto the center of the wheel and (approximately) maintains its shape. After the clay is added, the wheel and clay spin at 1.1 revolutions per second. What was the initial angular velocity of the wheel before the clay was added? O77 rad/s O 94 rad/s O 8.9 rad/s O7.3 rad/s
