A child with mass m=35kg is playing on a rotating merry-go-round with mass M=270kg and radius R=3m. The pivot is frictionless and the merry-go-round and child are rotating together with angular speed ω=2.2rad/s. The child is standing at rchild =43R, as shown in the figure. If we model the child as a point mass (I=MR2) and the merry-go-round as a disk (I=21MR2), what is the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the child + merry go round system? (a) L=2673kgm2s−1× (b) L=3192.75kgm2s−1× (c) L=2283.19kgm2s−1 (d) L=3062.81kgm2s−1 (e) L=857.59kgm2s−1 Select all possible options that apply. There is exactly 1 correct option in the list above. This question is complete and cannot be answered again. Correct answer (d) L=3062.81kgm2s−1
