May 17, 2018 at 12:56 comment added Euro Micelli The constant angular momentum description here is correct for each particle of the ball which is an extended object (calculus gets involved because "spherical surface"). What it means is that the ball when released will be rotating along its own vertical axis (as it travels or translates tangentially to the merry-go-round). Fortunately in this case the rotation can be trivially calculated from purely geometric/kinematic arguments and you don't need to worry about the moment of inertia.
