Question
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, shown in (Figure 1), she really does fold her body exactly in half.
In terms of this model, what is her angular speed in the pike position?
Express your answer in radians per second.
In terms of this model, how many rotations does she complete in the 1.3 s that she holds the pike position?
Express your answer as a number of rotations.
Intial moment of intertia = 14
pike position inertia= 3.4

A feedback mechanism senses the angular speed of the disk, and a drive motor at A ensures that the angular speed remain constant while a m = 1.20 kg block on top of the disk slides outward in a radial slot. The block starts at the center of the disk at time t = 0 and moves outward with constant speed v = 1.25 cm/s relative to the disk until it reaches the edge at t = 465 s. The sliding block experiences no friction. Its motion is constrained to have constant radial speed by a brake at B, producing tension in a light string tied to the block. (a) Find the torque as a function of time that the drive motor must provide while the block is sliding. Hint: The torque is given by = 2mrvw. t N-m (b) Find the value of this torque at t= 465 s, just before the sliding block finishes its motion.
