The initial angular momentum of the turntable
Here is the initial moment of inertia, is initial angular velocity. The final angular momentum of the turntable is,
Here, is the final moment of inertia and is final angular velocity.
Substitute in the equation and solve for .
The initial momentum of the inertia in turntable is
Here is mass of turntable andis radius of turntable.
The final angular momentum is due to turntable and two blocks. The final moment of inertia of the system is,
Here, is the mass of each block and is the distance of block from the center of the turntable.
