Rotational Energy PHYS 2050, Fall 2024 An eco-conscious, hipster DJ has a new turntable design for 12inch (30cm) LP records which he says will save energy. Instead of a disk to support the vinyl LPs, he claims that a slightly smaller square plate will work. 30cm 30cm A.) Assuming that both turntables have a mass of 1kg, what are the moments of inertia of the old, round turntable and the new, square turntable? (note: You will have to convert the diagonal measurement of the square into the measurement of a side) B.) Will the new design save energy, when rotating at 33rpm? How much more or less energy?
