Answer:
20.62361 rad/s
489.81804 J
Explanation:
= Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²
= Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²
= Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s
= Final angular speed
As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s
Change in kinetic energy is given by

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J
As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy
Definition: a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.
To change from mass to weight is Fw = 30 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 294 N. To change from weight to mass divide by gravity (9.8 m/s^2).
Answer:
C: equal to mg
Explanation:
in free-fall, gravity is always the net force on an object
