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.
