a person is standing on a rotating table with metal spheres in his outstrechedhands.if he draws his hand inwards towards his chest what will be the effect on his angular speed
Open in App
Solution
Angular speed will increase since no external torque on system Hence angular momentum remains constant initial angular momentum =final angular momentum (I1*W2)=(I2W2) Since I2(moment of inertia) decreases due mass concentrate towards the axis of rotation (mr2).. Hence W2 increases
