Question: A gymnast doing a front flip received an average torque of 5 2 3 Nm during the 0 . 3 1 seconds during the takeoff

A gymnast doing a front flip received an average torque of 523 Nm during the 0.31 seconds during the
takeoff phase (i.e., the time during which the feet push on the ground). If the gymnast started the flip from a
stationary position, calculate (a) the angular impulse exerted on the gymnast during the takeoff phase, and (b)
the gymnasts angular velocity immediately after the takeoff phase if her moment of inertia is 5 kg*m2
