To Find: The final moment of inertia.
The way skater accomplished the change.
Answer to Problem 55P
The final moment of inertia is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Initial spin rotation,
Final spin rotation,
Initial moment of inertia,
Formula used:
Law of conservation of momentum
Here,
Calculation: As,
The skater can physically accomplish this small moment of inertia by pullingher arms inwards. The closer the mass is to the rotational axis, the smaller is the moment of inertia.
Conclusion: The final moment of inertia is
