Ah I see now. Yeah the doubling of the radius was my error, sorry. But, one last question is how would the velocity be found?

Thanks again for the help guys :smile: so mass, velocity and radius are the quantities that are depended by angular and since the block has been added it would double both radius and mass correct? So the equation to figure out this problem would be L=2rx*2m*v? and angular momentum is the same...

Thanks for making me feel welcome hootenanny :smile: and thanks for helping me get started on this problem. So I've figured out that the quantity being conserved is the Angular Momentum, but would the falling block make a difference? Thanks again for the help.

1.Provide the question and knowns A uniform disk turns at 3.7rev/s around a frictionless spindle. A nonrotating rod, of the same mass as the disk and length equal to the disk's diameter, is dropped onto the freely spinning disk. they then turn together around the spindle with their centers...
