A student sits on a freely rotating stool holding two dumbbells, each of mass 3.00 kg. When his arms are extended horizontally, the dumbbells are 1.00 m from the axis of rotation and the student rotates with an angular speed of 0.750 rad/s. The moment of inertia of the student plus stool is 3.00 kg · m2 and is assumed to be constant. The student pulls the dumbbells inward horizontally to a position of 0.300 m from the rotation axis. (a) Find the new angular speed of the student. (b) Find the kinetic energy of the rotating system before and after he pulls the dumbbells inward.
