Question

A diver (m = 60 kg) jumps from a diving board. At takeoff, his angular momentum about the transverse axis is 30 kg⋅m2/s. His radius of gyration about the transverse axis is 0.5 m at this instant. During the dive, he tucks and reduces his radius of gyrations about the transverse axis to 0.2 m.

 

After he tucks the body, what is his angular velocity about the transverse axis?
