Question

Problem 82GP

Model a figure skater’s body as a solid cylinder and her arms as thin rods, making reasonable estimates for the dimensions. Then calculate the ratio of the angular speeds for a spinning skater with outstretched arms, and with arms held tightly against her body. Check Sections 8–5 and 8–8.

Solution
