Suppose we want to calculate the moment of inertia of a 56.5 kg skater, relative to a vertical axis through their center of mass. Required:
a. First calculate the moment of inertia (in kg-m^2) when the skater has their arms pulled inward by assuming they are cylinder of radius 0.11 m.
b. Now calculate the moment of inertia of the skater (in kg-m^2) with their arms extended by assuming that each arm is 5% of the mass of their body. Assume the body is a cylinder of the same size, and the arms are 0.875 m long rods extending straight out from their body being rotated at the ends.

a. 0.342 kg-m² b. 2.0728 kg-m²

Explanation:

a. Since the skater is assumed to be a cylinder, the moment of inertia of a cylinder is I = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder and r = radius of cylinder. Now, here, M = 56.5 kg and r = 0.11 m

I = 1/2MR²

= 1/2 × 56.5 kg × (0.11 m)²

= 0.342 kgm²

So the moment of inertia of the skater is

b. Let the moment of inertia of each arm be I'. So the moment of inertia of each arm relative to the axis through the center of mass is (since they are long rods)

I' = 1/12ml² + mh² where m = mass of arm = 0.05M, l = length of arm = 0.875 m and h = distance of center of mass of the arm from the center of mass of the cylindrical body = R/2 + l/2 = (R + l)/2 = (0.11 m + 0.875 m)/2 = 0.985 m/2 = 0.4925 m

I' = 1/12 × 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.875 m)² + 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.4925 m)²

= 0.1802 kg-m² + 0.6852 kg-m²

= 0.8654 kg-m²

The total moment of inertia from both arms is thus I'' = 2I' = 1.7308 kg-m².

So, the moment of inertia of the skater with the arms extended is thus I₀ = I + I'' = 0.342 kg-m² + 1.7308 kg-m² = 2.0728 kg-m²

the temperature and the pressure affect solubility. temperature affects by changing the properties of the solvent. the increase in pressure increases solubility, the decrease in pressure decreases solubility.
