Determine how far are the masses from the axis of rotation


A student on a piano stool rotates freely having an angular speed of around 2.85 rev/s. The student holds a mass of 1.40 kg in each outstretched arm, 0.779 m from the axis of rotation. The joint moment of inertia of the student and the stool, avoiding the two masses, is 5.33 kg m^2, a value which remains constant. As the student pulls his arms inward, his angular speed rises to 3.48 rev/s. Determine how far are the masses from the axis of rotation at this time, considering the masses to be points?
