A Solid Disk with Diameter 2

Short Answer

A solid disk with diameter 2.00 meters and mass 4.0 kg freely rotates about a vertical axis at 36. rpm. A 0.50 kg hunk of bubblegum is dropped onto the disk and sticks to the disk at a distance d = 80. cm from the axis of rotation, as shown in Figure 8-3.

(a) What was the moment of inertia before the gum fell?
(b) What was the moment of inertia after the gum stuck?
(c) What is the angular velocity after the gum fell onto the disk?
