A solid disk, spinning counter-clockwise, has a mass of $16 k g$ $16 kg$ and a radius of $\frac{4}{7} m$ $4/7 m$ . If a point on the edge of the disk is moving at $\frac{8}{5} \frac{m}{s}$ $8/5 m/s$ in the direction perpendicular to the disk's radius, what is the disk's angular momentum and velocity?

The angular momentum is $= 7.31 k g m^{2} s^{- 1}$ $=7.31kgm^2s^-1$
The angular velocity is $= 2.8 r a d s^{- 1}$ $=2.8rads^-1$

The angular velocity is

$omega=(Deltatheta)/(Deltat)$

$v=r*((Deltatheta)/(Deltat))=r omega$

$omega=v/r$

where,

$v=8/5ms^(-1)$

$r=4/7m$

So,

The angular velocity is $omega=(8/5)/(4/7)=56/20=2.8rads^-1$

The angular momentum is $L=Iomega$

mass, $m=16$

For a solid disc, $I=(mr^2)/2$

So, $I=16*(4/7)^2/2=2.61kgm^2$

$L=I*omega=2.61*2.8=7.31kgm^2s^-1$
