A child stands at the centre of a turntable with his two arms outstretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of 40 rev//min . How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to 2//5 times the initial value ? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction.

Two dics of moments of inertia I_1 and I_2 about their respective axes (normal to the disc and passing through the centre), and rotating with angular speed omega_1 and omega_2 are brought into contact face to face with their axes of rotation coincident. Does the law of conservation of angular momentum apply to the situation? Why?
