A playground merry-go-round of radius R = 1.80 m has a moment of inertia I = 230 kg⋅m2 and is rotating at 12.0 rev/min about a frictionless vertical axle. Facing the axle, a 23.0−kg child hops onto the merry-go-round and manages to sit down or edge. What is the new angular speed of the merry-go-round? rev/min
