CONSERVATION OF ANGULAR MOMENTUM. A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 120 kg and a radius of 1.80 m. If it is rotating with an angular velocity of 3.14 rad/s, What is its angular velocity after a 22.0-kg child gets onto it by grabbing its outer edge? Consider it as a solid cylinder

• 3.14 rad/s

• 2.65 rad/s

• 2 rad/s

• 3.65 rad/s
