The centre of mass of the woman (58 kg) is situated 1.3 m from the axis of rotation which is vertical and passes through the centre of mass of the man (85 kg). They are spinning at a constant angular velocity equal to 3.1415 rad/s and the man and woman have moments of inertia, about their own centres of mass, equal to 1.6 and 2.5 kg.m2 respectively. Then the woman grabs the neck of the man. At this point, her moment of inertia decreases to 1.4 kg.m2 and her body centre of gravity is 0.9 m from the axis of rotation. Determine the new angular velocity. Hints: This is a conservation of angular momentum problem, and needs the parallel axis theorem to determine moments of inertia about the axis of rotation. The skaters are moving as one body with one angular velocity, but they each have their own moments of inertia given relative to their own CoMs. For the man, that’s fine…the axis they’re rotating about passes through his…arrow_forward
