A student on a piano stool rotates freely with anangular


A student on a piano stool rotates freely with anangular speed of 3.16 rev/s. The student holds a 1.50 kg mass ineach outstretched arm, 0.794 m from the axis of rotation. Thecombined moment of inertia of the student and the stool, ignoringthe two masses, is 5.45 kg*m2, a value that remainsconstant. As the student pulls his arms inward, his angular speedincreases to 3.46 rev/s. How farare the masses from the axis of rotation at this time, consideringthe masses to be points?

Calculate the initial kineticenergy of the system.

Calculate the final kinetic energy of the system.
