A student sits on a rotating stool holding two 4 kg objects


A student sits on a rotating stool holding two 4 kg objects. When his arms are extended horizontally, the objects are 0.8 m from the axis of rotation, and he rotates with angular speed of 0.74 rad/sec. The moment of iner- tia of the student plus the stool is 6 kgm2 and is assumed to be constant. The student then pulls the objects horizontally to a radius 0.32 m from the rotation axis.

a) Calculate the final angular speed of the student. Answer in units of rad/s

b) Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the system. Answer in units of J
