Calculating change in linear position

[pbhuter]

I was just hoping to verify that my understanding of the conservation of angular momentum does apply to this situation. I seem to have gotten that verification. I appreciate all of the help, and I am sorry for the amount of time it took me to adequately explain the problem.

Thank you to everyone who has provided assistance.

An object that has no mass will not contribute, in any way, to the linear or angular momentum.
