From the case we know that:
- The moment of inertia Icm of the uniform flat disk witout the point mass is Icm = MR².
- The moment of inerta with respect to point P on the disk without the point mass is Ip = 3MR².
- The total moment of inertia (of the disk with the point mass with respect to point P) is I total = 5MR².
Please refer to the image below.
We know from the case, that:
m = 2M
r = R
m2 = 1/2M
distance between the center of mass to point P = p = R
Distance of the point mass to point P = d = 2R
We know that the moment of inertia for an uniform flat disk is 1/2mr². Then the moment of inertia for the uniform flat disk is:
Icm = 1/2mr²
Icm = 1/2(2M)(R²)
Icm = MR² ... (i)
Next, we will find the moment of inertia of the disk with respect to point P. We know that point P is positioned at the arc of the disk. Hence:
Ip = Icm + mp²
Ip = MR² + (2M)R²
Ip = 3MR² ... (ii)
Then, the total moment of inertia of the disk with the point mass is:
I total = Ip + I mass
I total = 3MR² + (1/2M)(2R)²
I total = 3MR² + 2MR²
I total = 5MR² ... (iii)

Answer:
They both have the same angular speed.
Explanation:
The mathematical formula for angular speed is:
where is angular speed,
is a constant, and
is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).
What we can see from the formula is that, since the does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.
In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.
Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by
will also be the same
