QUESTION:

A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.2 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and he holds a brick in each hand. The rotational inertia of the system consisting of the man, bricks, and platform about the central vertical axis of the platform is 6.0 kg"m2 . If by moving the bricks the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system to 2.0 kg "m2 , what are (a) the resulting angular speed of the platform and (b) the ratio of the new kinetic energy of the system to the original kinetic energy? (c) What source provided the added kinetic energy?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

We have a rotating platform with angular speed of , a man with stretched arms stands on this platform and he holds a brick in each hand. It is given that the rotational inertia of the system about the central vertical axis of the platform is , then the man moves the bricks such that the rotational inertia decreases to
