Chapter 10 Problem 10.44

Question

A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a moment of inertia about her rotation axis of \(18 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\). She then tucks into a small ball, decreasing this moment of inertia to \(3.6 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\). While tucked, she makes two complete revolutions in 1.0 s. If she hadn’t tucked at all, how many revolutions would she have made in the 1.5 s from board to water?

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 44 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a moment of inertia about her rotation axis of \(18 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\). She then tucks into a small ball, decreasing this moment of inertia to \(3.6 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\). While tucked, she makes two complete revolutions in 1.0 s. If she hadn’t tucked at all, how many revolutions would she have made in the 1.5 s from board to water?
From the textbook chapter Dynamics of Rotational Motion you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
