The figure shows a small wad of putty colliding into a bar. The bar is initially hanging at rest from a pivot located at one end of the bar. The collision is completely inelastic. The bar has mass M = 3.78 kilograms and length L = 1.12 meters. The putty wad has mass m = 131 grams and is moving horizontally with vi = 1.67 m/s just before colliding with and sticking to the bar. The putty wad collides with the bar at d = 0.83 meters from the pivot. Note that the size of the putty wad is negligible compared to the length of the bar.  Calculate the angular velocity (rad/s) of the bar just after the collision.
