If a gymnast sitting on a rotating stool, with his arms out stretched, suddenly lowers his hands, what will happen?

A child stands at the centre of turn table with his two arms out stretched. The turn table is set rotating with an angular speed of 40 rpm. 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 turn table rotates without friction (ii) Show that the child's new kinetic energy of rotation is more than the initial kinetic energy of rotation. How do you account for this increase in kinetic energy?

A diver having a moment of inertia of 6.0 kg-m^2 about an axis through its centre of mass rotates at an angular speed of 2 rad/s about this axis. If he folds his hands and feet to decrease the moment of inertia to 5.0 kg-m^2 what will be the new angular speed?
