A woman whose mass is 54.7 kg stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable which has a moment of inertia of
338 kg m^2 about the axis of rotation and a radius of 2.26 m. The system is initially at rest and the turntable is free to rotate about a frictionless, vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim in a clockwise direction (viewed from above) at a constant speed of 0.873 m/s relative to the ground.
What will the motion of the turntable be, relative to the ground?
(pick best one)
1. at rest, non-rotating
2. rotating counterclockwise
3. rotating clockwise
What is its angular speed? Answer in units of rad/s.
How much work does the woman do to set the system into motion? Answer in units of J.

Which one is the angular speed? it's saying that 0.37 isn't correct, but that's how i worked it out as well
