Question : A man stands on a rotating platform, with his arms streched holding a 5 kg weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is 30 revolutions per minutes. The man then brings his arms close to his body with the distance each weight from the axis changing from 90 cm to 20 cm. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to 7.6 kg/m².a) What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction) [58.88 rev/min]
b) Is kinetic energy conserved in this process? If not, from where does the change come about?
