Luc, who is 1.80 mm tall and weighs 950 NN, is standing at the center of a playground merry-go-round with his arms extended, holding a 4.0 kgkg dumbbell in each hand. The merry-go-round can be modeled as a 4.0-mm-diameter disk with a weight of 1500 NN. Luc's body can be modeled as a uniform 40-cmcm-diameter cylinder with massless arms extending to hands that are 85 cmcm from his center. The merry-go-round is coasting at a steady 35 rpmrpm when Luc brings his hands in to his chest. Afterward, what is the angular velocity, in rpmrpm, of the merry-go-round? The answer is not 31.6 rpm.
