Randall D. Knight β€” Rotation of a Rigid Body: Problem 87

A 45 kg figure skater is spinning on the toes of her skates at 1.0 rev/s. Her arms are outstretched as far as they will go. In this orientation, the skater can be modeled as a cylindrical torso (40 kg, 20 cm average diameter, 160 cm tall) plus two rod-like arms (2.5 kg each, 66 cm long) attached to the outside of the torso. The skater then raises her arms straight above her head, where she appears to be a 45 kg, 20-cm-diameter, 200-cm-tall cylinder. What is her new angular velocity, in rev/s?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 45 kg, . In, 40 kg, 20 cm, 160 cm, 2.5 kg
