The figure shows a small piece of clay colliding into a disk. The disk is initially at rest, but can rotate about a pivot fixed at its center. The collision is completely inelastic.1) The disk has mass M = 4.73 kilograms and radius R = 0.755 meters. The clay has mass m = 279 grams and is moving horizontally at vi = 3.66 m/s just before colliding with and sticking to the disk. The clay strikes the edge of the disk at a location of b = 0.505 meters offset from the center of the disk. Note that the size of the clay is negligible compared to the radius of the disk. 2) Calculate the angular velocity (rad/s) of the disk just after the collision.
