Directed perpendicular to the vane

Reference no: EM13656342

A weather vane initially at rest has a moment of inertia of 0.107 kg · m2 about its axis of rotation. A 33.5 g piece of clay is thrown at the vane and sticks to it at a point 18.5 cm from the axis. The initial velocity of the clay is 20.5 m/s, directed perpendicular to the vane. Find the angular velocity of the weather vane just after it is struck.
