A large wooden turntable in the shape of a flat disk has aradius of 2.00m and a total mass of 120kg. The turntable isinitially rotating at 3.00rad/s about a vertical axis through itscenter. Suddenly, a 70.0kg parachutist makes a soft landing on theturntable at a point on its outer edge.

Find the angular speed of the turntable afterthe parachutist lands.(Assume that you can treat the parachutist asa particle.)
