Default Re: GRE study help-classical physics

just a quick glance, your I' looks right since the child is at the center and doesn't add to the rotational inertia

however when you initially calculated I it looks like you just calculated it as if the disk itself was 240 kg total, but it makes a difference that the child is on the end not near the center.
