What happens to the rotation about his axis when the weights are released? A. He rotates at the same angular velocity. B. He rotates at an increased angular velocity. C. He rotates at a lower angular velocity. D. More information is needed.

Mario spins with arms outstretched holding dumbbells. In accord with angular momentum conservation we know that if he pulls his arms inward, rotational rate will increase. And we know that if he could extend his arms farther, rotational rate would decrease. But suppose he does neither, and simply drops the dumbbells. Then his rotational rate would A. increase. B. decrease. C. remain unchanged.
