An umbrella consists of a circle of cloth, a thin rod with the handle at one end

Question:

An umbrella consists of a circle of cloth, a thin rod with the handle at one end and the center of the cloth at the other end, and several straight uniform ribs hinged to the top end of the rod and holding the cloth taut. With the ribs perpendicular to the rod, the umbrella is set rotating about the rod with an angular speed of 1.25 rad/s. The cloth is so light and the rod is so thin that they make negligible contributions to the moment of inertia, in comparison to the ribs. The spinning umbrella is balanced on its handle and keeps rotating without friction. Suddenly its latch breaks and the umbrella partly folds up, until each rib makes an angle of 22.5° with the rod. What is the final angular speed of the umbrella?
