Assignment:
A disk-shaped merry-go-round of radius 2.63 m and mass 155 kg rotates freely with an angular speed of .667 rev/s. A 59.4 kg person running tangential to the rim of the merry-go-round at 3.38 m/s jumps onto its rim and holds on. Before jumping on the merry-go-round, the person was moving in the same direction as the merry-go-round's rim.
