Question
A spinning figure skater who brings their arms close in to their body will then spin faster.
The stick person figure skater we're looking at has a mass of M
50 kg and arms of length

their arms fully extended. At this initial state, the figure skater can be modeled as a hollow
cylinder with moment of inertia I = MR²\

When the skater brings their arms in towards their body, they can be modeled as a solid
cylinder with radius Rf = 0.2 m.
