Question
On average, both arms and hands together account for 13% of a person's mass, while the head is 7.0% and the trunk and
legs account for 80%. We can model a spinning skater with her arms outstretched as a vertical cylinder (head, trunk, and
legs) with two solid uniform rods (arms and hands) extended horizontally.
Suppose a 70.0 kg skater is 1.70 m tall, has arms that are each 70.0 cm long (including the hands), and a trunk that can be
modeled as being 35.0 cm in diameter. If the skater is initially spinning at 84.0 rpm with her arms outstretched, what will
her angular velocity w, be (in rpm) after she pulls in her arms and they are at her sides parallel to her trunk? Assume that
friction between the skater and the ice is negligble.
