Explanation / Answer

2. given student standing on a rotating platform

angular speed, wi = 2 rev/s

mass of each dumbell, m = 5kg

final distance of dumbells from axis of rotation, d = 0.8 cm

moment of inertia without dumbell, I = 8 kg m^2

a. original angular speed = w = 2 rev/s = 2*2*pi rad/s = 12.566 rad/s

b. initial angular momentum = Iw = 100.53096 kg m^2 rad/s

c. final moment of inertia, I' = I + 2*m*d^2 = 14.4 kg m^2

d. final angular speed = Iw/I' = 6.9811 rad/s

e. change in KE = initial KE - final KE = 0.5(Iw^2 - I'w'^2) = 280.719972088 J
