Chapter 10, Problem 10.5DQ
When an acrobat walks on a tightrope, she extends her arms straight out from her sides. She does this to make it easier for her to catch herself if she should tip to one side or the other. Explain how this works. [Hint: Think about Eq. (10.7).]

A diver leaves the platform with her body straight. Her body is in a relatively slow rotation, with an angular speed of 4.0 rad/s. She then tucks into a pike position, with her body essentially folded in half. We can use a simple model to understand what happens next. First, model her 50 kg, 1.8 m body as uniform. Next, assume that when she goes into a pike position, she really does fold her body exactly in half. In terms of this model,
a. What is her initial moment of inertia?b. What is her moment of inertia in the pike position?c. What is her angular speed in the pike position?d. How many rotations does she complete in the 1.3 s that she holds the pike position?
"The masses and coordinates of four particles are as follows: 50 g, x = 2.0 cm, y = 2.0 cm; 25 g, x = 0, y= 4.0 cm; 25 g, x=-3.0 cm, y=-3.0 cm; 30 g, x=-2.0 cm, y = 4.0 cm. What are the rotational inertias of this collection about the (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z axes? (d) Suppose that we symbolize the answers to (a) and (b) as A and B, respectively. Then what is the answer to (c) in terms of A and B?"
