Rotation angular velocity of a turntable

[lilyE]

I've spent at least an hour trying to figure this out, but can't seem to figure out how to solve this.

1. Homework Statement
A 170g , 30.0-cm-diameter turntable rotates on frictionless bearings at 66.0rpm . A 25.0g block sits at the center of the turntable. A compressed spring shoots the block radically outward along a frictionless groove in the surface of the turntable.

What is the turntable's rotation angular velocity when the block reaches the outer edge?

Homework Equations

Conservation of momentum: Ii*wi = If*wf

The Attempt at a Solution

I(turntable) = Mr^2 = (.170 kg)(.15 m)^2 = 3.825*10^-3 kg m^2
I(block)o = mr^2 = 0
I(block)f = mr^2 = (.025 kg)(.15 m)^2 = 5.265*10^-4 kg m^2
wi = ((66 rpm)(2pi))/60 = 6.91 rad/s
I(turntable+block)f = 3.825*10^-3 + 5.265*10^-4 = 4.3875*10^-3 kg m^2

(3.825*10^-3)(6.91) = (4.3875*10^-3)wf
0.1826 = (4.3875*10^-3)wf
wf = 6.02 rad/s -- wrong

Initially, I tried using conservation of energy, and ended up with 5.52 rad/s. The program told me "not quite" and suggested a rounding error, so I think 5.52 might be close to the right answer, but I can't seem to figure out why I'm not getting it. Any help would be much appreciated!

I think you should recheck the equation of ##I_{turntable}##.

Would it just be 1/2*(.170)(.15)? That's what I had at first, but I wasn't sure if that was correct or not.

If I use I_turntable = (0.5)(0.17)(0.15)², I get I_turntable = 1.9125 * 10^-3 kg m². Plugging this in, I get a final answer of 5.42 rad/s. Does this seem right?

Believe yourself.

By the way, due to the error generated by calculating, recommend you to calculate at the last pace.
You can get the best result.
