Angular Momentum: Person on Rotating Platform

Description
This is a simulation of a rotating solid cylindrical platform with a person on top. Adjust the mass of the platform and person, and the radius of the platform and the person's path, to see how these changes affect the angular velocity of the system and the centripetal force needed to hold the person on the platform.
