problem 7(25 points)
7. A physics professor stands at the center of a frictionless turntable with arms outstretched and a 5.0-kg dumbbell in each hand. He is set rotating about the vertical axis. Assume the professor's moment of inertia with arms outstretched is I=4.0kgm2 and I=2.5kgm2 with the arms near his chest (dumbbells not included). Assume also that the dumbbells are initially at 1.0 m and move to 0.2 m at the end.
a. The professor is accelerated at the rate of =20.0rads2 by a student applying a constant torque for 1.0 seconds. What is the torque magnitude?
b. What is the professor's angular speed after the spin-up?
c. After accelerating the professor, the student moves away and the professor pulls in the dumbbells. What is his final angular speed?
