(a) 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.
(b) 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 man stands at the centre of a circular table with his two hands outstretched. The table is set into rotation with an angular speed of 40 rev/min. What is the angular speed when the man folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia 2/5 times the initial value? Assume that the table rotates without friction.

A child stands at the turn table center of a turnable with his two arms outstretched. The turnable is set rotating with an angular speed of 10 rad//s . If the child folds his hands back so that the moment of inertia reduces to 3//5 times the initial value, find the new angular speed. Why does the kinetic energy of child increase?
