Figure 11-51 shows an overhead view of a ring that can ro- \ tate about its center like a merry- \ go- round. Its outer radius R2 is 0.800 m, its inner radius R1 is R2/2.00, its mass M is 8.00 kg, and the mass of the crossbars at its center is negligible. It initially rotates at an angular speed of 8.00 rad/s with a cat of Fig. 11-51 54. mass m = M/4.00 on its outer edge, at radius R z. By how much does the cat increase the kinetic energy of the cat-ring system if the cat crawls to the inner edge, at radius RJ?
