A student on a piano stool rotates freely with an angular speed of 2.95 rev/s. The student holds a 1.25-kg mass in the outstretched arm, 0.759 m from the axis of rotation. The combined moment of inertia of the student and the stool, ignoring the two masses, is 5.43 kg –m2, a value that remains constant. (a) As the student pulls his arms inward, his angular speed increases to 3.54 rcv/s. How farare the masses from the axis of rotation at this time, considering the masses to be points? (b) Calculate the initial and final kinetic energies of the system.
