Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Plane Kinetics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 6_146

6/146 Just after leaving the platform, the diver’s fully extended 80-kg body has a rotational speed of 0.3 rev/s about an axis normal to the plane of the trajectory. Estimate the angular velocity \(N\) later in the dive when the diver has assumed the tuck position. Make reasonable assumptions concerning the mass moment of inertia of the body in each configuration.
