Human Rotational Energy

A dancer is spinning at 72 rpm about an axis through her center with her arms outstretched, as shown in the following figure. From biomedical measurements, the typicaldistribution of mass in a human body is as follows:
Head: 7.0%
Arms: 13%(for both)
Trunk and legs: 80.0%
Suppose the mass of the dancer is 56.5 kg, the diameter of her head is 16 cm, the width of her body is 24 cm, and the length of her arms is 60 cm.

Calculate moment of inertia about dancer spin axis and rotational kinetic energy. Use the figures in the table 9.2 in the textbook to model reasonable approximationsfor the pertinent parts of your body.

    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 69.0 kg skater is 1.70 m tall, has arms that are each 74.0 cm long (including the hands), and a trunk that can...

    1. Three children are riding on the edge of a merry‑go‑round that has a mass of 105 kg and a radius of 1.80 m. The merry‑go‑round is spinning at 22.0 rpm. The children have masses of 22.0, 28.0, and 33.0 kg. If the 28.0 kg child moves to the center of the merry‑go‑round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? Ignore friction, and assume that the merry‑go‑round can be treated as a solid disk and the children...

    7. An ice skater can be modeled bv a cylinder of radius R and length L (trunk and legs together), 2 small thin cylinders. of radius r and length l (arms), and a sphere also of radius R (head). The head has mass mh, the trunk mt, and the arms ma. The ice skater rotates about her central axis. Find the moment of inertia of the ice skater with arms outstretched horizontally and then with arms vertical.

    A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.0 rpm while she holds a heavy weight in each of her hands. Her outstretched hands are 0.765 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 36.5 rpm. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after...

    A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.0 rpm while she holds a heavy weight in each of her hands. Her outstretched hands are 0.795 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 40.5 rpm. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after...
