Two ice skaters hold hands and rotate, making one revolution in 2.8 s. Their masses are 56 kg and 69 kg, and they are separated by 1.7 m. Find the angular momentum of the system about their center of mass. (I found that to be 200.5 J*s) Part 2 is: If the skaters pull towards each other and decrease their separation to 0.90 m, what is the new period of rotation about the center of mass?
