You are looking down on a disc that is spinning counterclockwise in the xy plane (positive z points out of the page towards you). The mass of the disc is 0.5 kg and it has a radius of 0.1 meters. The disc has an initial angular speed of 45 rotations per minute. Suddenly, you drop a small, but dense, wet glob of clay straight down onto the edge of the disc. The clay has a mass of 0.5 kg. What is the new rotational speed (in rotations per minute) of the disc once the clay has landed?

Question
You are looking down on a disc that is spinning counterclockwise in the xy plane (positive z
points out of the page towards you). The mass of the disc is 0.5 kg and it has a radius of 0.1
meters. The disc has an initial angular speed of 45 rotations per minute.
Suddenly, you drop a small, but dense, wet glob of clay straight down onto the edge of the disc.
The clay has a mass of 0.5 kg.
What is the new rotational speed (in rotations per minute) of the disc once the clay has landed?
