A 200-kg disk (I = 1/2 mR^2) with a radius of 3 m is spinning with an angular velocity of w = 6 s-1. A person with a mass of 50 kg initially stands at a distance of 1 m from the axle of the spinning disk, and then walks to a position 2 m from the axle of the disk. Treat the person as a point mass (I = mR^2). What is the new angular velocity of the disk-person system?
