Starting from rest, a fan takes five seconds to attain the maximum speed of 400 rpm(revolutions per minute). Asuming constant acceleration find the time taken by the fan in attaining half the maximum speed.

Let the agular acceleratio be `alpha`. According to the question
`400 rev/min=0+alpha5s`………i
Let t be the time taken in attaining the speed of 200 rev/m whilch is half the maximum
Then, `200 rev/min=0+alphat` ………ii
Dividing i by ii we get,
`2=5s/t or t=2.5s`

A man stands on a rotating platform, with his arms stretched horizontally 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 90cm to 20cm. The moment of inertia of the man together with the platform may be taken to be constant and equal to 7.6 kg m^(2) . (a) What is his new angular speed? (Neglect friction.) (b) Is kinetic energy conserved in the process? If not, from where does the change come about?
