A playground merry-go-round with an axis at the center (radius R = 1.5 m and rotational inertia | = 1.33 x 103 kgm²) is initially rotating at angular velocity wo = 1.1 rad/s (counter-clockwise). A girl of mass m = 39 kg is running at speed vo = 3.3 m/s in a direction tangent to the disk of the merry-go-round, intending to jump on to the point labeled with the green "x" (she is indicated by the purple circle in the figure). What is the angular momentum of the girl relative to the rotation axis of the merry-go-round? Your answer should be in kgm²/s, but enter only the numerical part in the box. R Wo
