Engineers use the device shown to measure an astronaut’s moment of inertia. The horizontal board is pinned at O and supported by the linear spring with constant k = 12 kN/m. When the astronaut is not present, the frequency of small vibrations of the board about O is measured and determined to be 6.0 Hz. When the astronaut is lying on the board as shown, the frequency of small vibrations of the board about O is 2.8 Hz. What is the astronaut s moment of inertia about the z axis?
