A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.0 rpm while she holds a heavyweight in each of her hands. Her outstretched hands are 0.745 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 20.5 rpm. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after she pulls her arms in?

A skater goes for a jump with turns. When she extends her arms, her moment of inertia about an axis through his body is 1.750 kg*m2. She initially pins at 0.650 rev/s and launches herself into the air and remained there for about 1.570 seconds while spinning at a constant angular speed. Assuming that her moment of inertia about an axis through his body has a value of 0.62 kg*m2, determine how many revolutions can she execute.

The figure above shows Einstein spinning on a platform. He is initially spinning at a rate of 1rev/s, and holding his hands a distance of R1 = 80.3 cm away from his body. He then pulls his arms in to a distance of R2 = 40cm, changing his rotational speed. In this problem you can model Einstein’s body as a cylinder with a moment of inertia I = 30MR2, where M is his mass (60kg), and R is the distance his hands are from his body. (Notice that the figure shows him holding weights, but we are going to assume they are massless, to make it simpler!)(a) If he draws his arms in very quickly, you can safely ignore any frictional force on the platform. Assuming this is true, how fast is he rotating after he draws his arms in? (b) In reality, after he draws his arms in friction will start to slow him down. If this small amount of friction is applying a torque of 4 Nm to the platform, how long would it take before Einstein stops moving?
