A massless, frictionless merry-go-round of radius R has one child of mass M sitting on the outer edge and is spinning with angular velocity ωi. If the child walks towards the center until she is 0.65R from the center, by what factor does the angular velocity increase? (i.e. solve for F where ωf=Fωi)
