Angular speed of the merry-go-round


A playground merry-go-round of radius R = 1.80 m has a moment of inertia I = 255 kg·m2 and is rotating at 8.0 rev/min about a frictionless vertical axle. Facing the axle, a 26.0 kg child hops onto the merry-go-round and manages to sit down on its edge. What is the new angular speed of the merry-go-round?
