A horizontal circular platform has a weight of 300 lb and a radius of gyration about the z axis passing through its center O of kz = 8 ft. The platform is free to rotate about the z axis and is initially at rest. A man, having a weight of 150 lb, begins to run along the edge in a circular path of radius 10 ft. If he has a speed of 4 ft/s and maintains this speed relative to the platform, compute the angular velocity of the platform.
[A].
= 0.313 rad/s
[B].
= 0.1754 rad/s
[C].
= 0.225 rad/s
[D].
= 1.429 rad/s
