Question
  1. Three children are riding on the edge of a merry‑go‑round that has a mass of  105 kg  and a radius of  1.40 m . The merry‑go‑round is spinning at  16.0 rpm.  The children have masses of  22.0,   28.0,  and  33.0 kg .  If the  28.0 kg  child moves to the center of the merry‑go‑round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? Ignore friction, and assume that the merry‑go‑round can be treated as a solid disk and the children as point masses. Note: 1 Revoultion = 2π radians
