A circular platform is mounted on a vertical frictionless axle. Its radius is r=2 m and its moment of inertia is I=200 kg m2 . It is initially at rest. A 70 kg man stands on the edge of the platform and begins to walk along the edge at speed v0=10 m s-1 relative to the ground. The angular velocity of the platform is

A binary star consists of two stars A (mass 2.2 Ms) and B (mass 11 Ms), where Ms is the mass of the sun. They are separated by distance d and are rotating about their centre of mass, which is stationary. The ratio of the total angular momentum of the binary star to the angular momentum of star B about the centre of mass is
