Homework Statement
1.A solid, vertical cylinder of mass 10.0 kg and radius 1.00 m rotates with an angular speed of 7.00 rad/s about a fixed vertical axis through its center. A .250 kg piece of putty is dropped vertically onto the cylinder at a point 0.900 m from the center of ration and sticks to the cylinder. Determine the final angular speed of the system.
Homework Equations
Lbefore=Lafter
L=Iw
The Attempt at a Solution
the angular momentum is L and the angular velocity is what i am looking for that is w.
I believe you can say that IoWo should = IW
I am unsure what you are to do with the mass of the putty and the center of radian issue.
I believe you need to set up taht W = (Io/I)wo
Io = MR^2?
