P 9-49    Exercise 9-33, should read. (Change is shown red.)
              A ride in a playground consists of a large turntable of radius 2.00 m which rotates freely about a fixed vertical axis. A child of mass 19.0 kg is standing on the turntable right at its outer edge, and the system is initially rotating at an angular speed of 0.500 rev/s. The child then moves to a position 1.00 m from the centre of the turntable. What does the turntable's angular speed become? The moment of inertia of the turntable by itself is 400 kg.m². Assume that the child can be treated as a point particle.
