A man standing on a turn-table is rotating at a certain angular frequency with his arms outstretched. He suddenly folds his arms. If his moment of inertia with folded arms is \(75 \%\) of that with outstretched arms, then his rotational kinetic energy will

  1. A increase by 33.3 %
  2. B decrease by 33.3 %
  3. C increase by \(25.0 \%\)
  4. D decrease by \(25.0 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) increase by 33.3 %

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_1 \omega_1 = I_2 \omega_2\) \(I_1 \omega_1 = 0.75 I_1 \omega_2 \implies \omega_2 = \frac{4}{3} \omega_1\)
