A 40-kg boy is standing on the edge of a stationary 30-kg circular platform that is free to rotate. The boy tries to walk around the platform in a counterclockwise direction. As he does:
a. the platform doesn't rotate.
b. the platform rotates in a clockwise direction just fast enough so that the boy remains stationary relative to the ground.
c. the platform rotates in a clockwise direction while the boy goes around in a counterclockwise direction relative to the ground.
d. both go around with equal angular velocities but in opposite directions.
