Part (b) Now calculate the moment of inertia of the skater (in kg m?) with their arms extended by assuming that each arm is 5% of the mass of their body. Assume the body is a cylinder of the same size, and the arms are 0.825 m long rods extending straight out from the center of their body being rotated at the ends.arrow_forwardPlease asaparrow_forwardA 7.83 kg particle with velocity = (1.81 m/s )i - (9.64 m/s ) is at x = 8.83 m.y = 1.23 m.

- As a physics demonstration, a special bowling ball is made so that it can be rotated about its center of mass to get a feel for how "big" a moment of inertia of 1 kg⋅m2 is. The average bowling ball has a weight of 15.4 lbs and a circumference of 26.3 inbut it does not have a moment of inertia equal to 1 kg⋅m2.Since the sporting goods manufacturer has no understanding of how "big" 1 kg⋅m21 is, calculate the diameter ? demo of the demo bowling ball, in inches, that it will need to manufacture. Assume that bowling balls are solid, with a constant density. D of demo required in inches.arrow_forwardAmong the elderly population, a sideway fall is a most frequent cause of hip fracture. An old man of mass 65 kg and height 1.7m was sent to Prince of Wales Hospital due to sideway fall. He slipped and fell laterally down with a straight body. Before falling, his centre of mass was 0.9 m above ground. His centre of mass was on the ground at the end of the fall. The radius of gyration about the anterior-posterior axis at his centre of mass was 0.55 m. (a) Calculate the initial potential energy before his fall. (b) Assuming his potential energy would be converted to linear kinetic energy of his centre of mass and rotational kinetic energy about his centre of mass, calculate the impact velocity v of his centre of mas right before he hit the ground.
