A circular table rotates in the x - y plane. The table is the gray, solid cylinder. It has mass m and radius R. The axis of rotation is the z-axis. The direction of rotation is given by the arrow-heads. A hollow ring of mass to be specified and radius R/2 is held at rest, slightly above the table and dropped onto the rotating table. The center of the ring is exactly in-line with the table’s axis of rotation. There is double-sided, adhesive tape on the bottom of the ring so it immediately sticks to and rotates with the table. Before the ring drops onto the table, the table rotates at a constant angular speed of ω0. Ignore friction. Determine the angular speed of the combined object just after the two join. Express your answer as a number multiplying the initial angular speed of the table. Enter the number in the format #.## where # is any digit from 0 to 9.
In this question use mring = 2m.
