Question
A skater spins at 3rev/s when she stretches her arms outward. If she keeps her fists on her chest she can spin at 4.5rev/s and her body inertia is 3kg.m2. What is her body inertia when she stretches her arms outward?

Answer:
Body inertia I = 4.5 kg/m^2
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the body inertia when the arms are stretched outwards.
We know from the question that angular momentum is conserved
Thus;
I * 3 = 4.5 * 3
I = 4.5 kg/m^2
