Question 2

A flywheel with a moment of inertia 6.00  106 kgm2 is spinning with an angular speed of 120 rev/s about a vertical axis while it sits at the north pole. The disk is turning counterclockwise when viewed from above.
 
  The disk is brought to a rest. Treat the earth as a uniform sphere with a mass 5.976  1024 kg and a radius 6.374  106 m. (a) What will be the magnitude of the change in angular momentum of the earth? (b) What will be the change in length of a day on Earth?
