A physics student is standing on an initially motionless, frictionless turntable with rotational inertia 0.31 kg · m2. She’s holding a wheel with rotational inertia 0.22 kg · m2 spinning at 130 rpm about a vertical axis, as in Fig. 11.8. When she turns the wheel upside down, student and turntable begin rotating at 70 rpm. (a) Find the student’s mass, considering her to be a 30-cm-diameter cylinder. (b) Neglecting the distance between the axes of the turntable and wheel, determine the work she did in turning the wheel upside down.

Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes.
