Question
A horizontal vinyl record of mass 0.115 kg and radius 0.0896 m rotates freely about a vertical axis through its center with an angular speed of 5.58 rad/s and a rotational inertia of 4.84 x 10-4 kg·m2. Putty of mass 0.0484 kg drops vertically onto the record from above and sticks to the edge of the record.What is the angular speed of the record immediately afterwards?

Answer:
Explanation:
Angular momentum is the product of inertial and angular frequency
L = I × ω
Where
L is angular momentum
I is inertia
ω is angular frequency
So, given that
Vinyl record has a massz
M = 0.115kg
Radius R = 0.0896m
Angular velocity of vinyl record
ω(initial) = 5.58 rad/s
Rotational inertial of vinyl record.
I(initial) = 4.84 × 10^-4 kgm²
Putty drop on the record
Mass of putty M’ = 0.0484kg
Angular speed after putty drop ω’
Using conversation of angular momentum
Initial angular momentum is equal to final angular momentum
I(initial) × ω(initial) = I(final) × ω(final)
So, we need to find I(final)
Inertia log putty can be determine using MR² by assuming a thin loop
I(putty) = M’R² = 0.0484 × 0.0896
I(putty) = 3.89 × 10^-4 kgm²
I(final) = I(initail) + I(putty)
I(final) = 4.84 × 10^-4 + 3.89 × 10^-4
I(final) = 8.73 × 10^-4 kgm²
Therefore,
I(initial) × ω(initial) = I(final) × ω(final)
ω(final) = I(initial) × ω(initial) / I(final)
ω(final) = 4.84 × 10^-4 × 5.58 / 8.73 × 10^-4
ω(final) = 3.1 rad/s
