2. A person is standing on a rotating platform with hands at his side. The rotation rate of the platform is 0.90 rev/s. The person then raises his arms to a horizontal position and the rotation rate decreases to 0.60 rev/s. Why does the rotation rate change? By what factor has the moment of inertia changed?
