A man stands on a rotating platform, with his arms stretched horizontal holding a 5 kg weight in each hand. The angular speed of the platform is 30 revolutions per minute. The man then brings his arms close to his body with the distance of each weight from the axis changing from 90 cm to 20 cm . moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal t 7.6 kg m^(2) . (a) What is the his new angular speed ? (Neglect friction.) (b) Is kinetic energy conserved in the process ? If not, from where does the change come about ?

A child is standing with his two arms outstretched at the centre of a turntable that is rotating about its central axis with an angular speed omega_0 . Now, the child folds his hands back so that moment of inertia becomes 3 times the initial value. The new angular speed is.

In fig. the man and the platform together weight 950N. The pulley can be treated as frictionless. Determine how hard the man has to pull on the rope to lift himself upward above the ground with constant velocity. If the weight of man is 550 N, what is the normal reaction between them?

The torque of the weight of any body about any vertical axis is zero. Is it always correct?

A man is standing on a weighing machine placed in a lift. When stationary his weight is recorded as 40 kg . If the lift is accelerated upwards with an acceleration of 2m//s^(2) , then the weight recorded in the machine will be (g=10m//s^(2))

A man weighing 80 kg is standing on a trolley weighting 320 kg . The trolley is resting on frictionless horizontal rails. If the man starts walking on the trolley along the rails at speed 1 m//s (w.r.t. to trolley) then after 4 s his displacement relative to the ground will be :

A kid of mass M stands at the edge of a platform of radius R which can be freely rotated about its axis. The moment of inertia of the platform is I . The system is at rest when a friend throws as ball of mass m and the kid catches it. If the velocity of the ball is v horizontally along the tangent to the edge of the platform when it was caught by the kid find the angular speed of the platform after the event.

A man stands at the centre of a circular platform holding his arms extended horizontally with 4 kg block in each hand. He is set rotating about a vertical axis at 0.5rev//s . The moment of inertia of the man plus platform is 1.6kg-m^(2) , assumed constant, the block are 90 cm from the axis of rotation. He now pulls the blocks in towards his body until they are 15 cm from the axis of rotation. Find (a) his new angular velocity and (b) the initial and final kinetic energy of the man and platform (c) how much work most the man do to pull int he blocks?
