A man standing on a frictionless rotating platform rotates at 1 rps, his arms are outstretched and he holds a weight in his hands. In this position, the total moment of inertia of the system is 6 kg m^2 , he leaves the weights, the moment of inertia decreases to 2kg m^2 . The resulting angular speed of the platform is

A person stands on a uniformly rotating turn table with outstretched arms holding two identical weights. The moment of inertia of the system is 60 kgm^2 . When he brings the arms close to his body, the M.I. of inertia reduces to 58 kgm^2 . The angular speed of the system now becomes 3 rad s^-1 . Find the initial angular speed and the final K.E.
