This site gives a pretty good description of what is going on: https://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=1380&t=relativistic-merry-go-round

Your question cannot be answered with special relativity alone since the disk, since it is spinning, is always accelerating. It leads to general relativistic thinking!

Give the link a read and let me know if there are more questions!
