Two different amusement park rides are shown in the figure at the right. Each of the platforms is supported on frictionless pins by a pair of arms. All of the arms supporting the platforms rotate at the same angular velocity w. Compare the kinetic energies of the two identical platforms P and Q. Which is correct? Platform P has greater kinetic energy. Platform Q has greater kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of the platforms will be the same. Each will have zero kinetic energy. Not enough information is given.
