Three children are riding on the outer edge of a merry-go-round that has a mass of 113 kg and a radius of 2.2 meters, and is spinning at 17 revolutions per minute. The masses of the children are 37 kg, 28 kg, and 21 kg. If the 37 kg child moves to the center of the merry-go-round with their distance from the center is 0 instead of 2.2 meters, what will be the new spin rate?
