Question: 3 5 . 4 A man stands on a platform that is rotating ( without friction ) with an initial rotational kinetic energy K 1

35.4
A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an initial rotational kinetic energy K1=80 J. His arms are outstretched and he holds a heavy weight in each hand. The rotational inertia of man, weights and platform about the central, vertical axis is I1=5.0kgm2. If, by moving the weights, the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system to I2=3.5kgm2, what is the final angular speed of 2?
(A)7.6rads
(B)9.3rads
(C)5.4rads
(D)6.2rads
(E)8.1rads
