Thanks, but unfortunately this didn't really help me. This is for the angular momentum of the system before the collision, not after. I know the CM...it's the angular momentum I can't figure out. plugging in 1.15 m - 0.764 m by itself or as r doesn't seem to work. I am really at a loss how to...

A uniform beam with mass M = 168 kg and length L = 2.3 m slides broadside down along the ice at a speed of v0 = 8 m/s. A man of mass 85 kg, who is initially at rest, grabs one end of the beam as it goes past and hangs on as the beam and man go spinning down the ice. Assume frictionless motion...
