Answer:
This question is incomplete
Explanation:
The completed question is in the attachment to this question
The two objects (X and Y) at rest had a potential energy of Mx.gH and My.gH respectively because the formula for potential energy (P.E) is mgh. Where m is the mass of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the object above the ground. Hence, Mx and My are the masses of X and Y respectively.
The change in there potential energy to kinetic energy and back to there potential energy will be
P.E of Y - P.E of X (because mass of Y is larger and will hit the floor first)
Hence, My.gH - Mx.gH ⇔ (My - Mx)gH

The tangential speed of Andrea is given by :
Where
r is radius of the circular path
ω is angular speed
The merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed. Let the new distance from the center of the circular platform is r'
r' = 2r
New angular speed,
New angular speed is twice that of the Chuck's speed.
