A trapeze artist performs an aerial maneuver. While in a tucked position, as shown in figure A, she rotates about her center of mass at a rate of 6.27 rad/s. Her moment of inertia about this axis is 17.9 kg⋅m2. A short time later, the aerialist is in the straight position, as shown in figure B. If the moment of inertia about her center of mass in this position is now 33.1 kg⋅m2, what is her rotational speed in revolutions per minute (rpm)?

Respuesta :

The rotational speed of the trapeze artist is 32.372 revolutions per second.

In this question we should apply the principle of angular momentum conservation to determine the final angular speed of the trapeze artist, since there are no external forces acting on the trapeze artist:

[tex]I_{A}\cdot \omega_{A} = I_{B}\cdot \omega_{B}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]I_{A}[/tex], [tex]I_{B}[/tex] - Initial and final moments of the trapeze artist, in kilograms-square meter.

[tex]\omega_{A}[/tex], [tex]\omega_{B}[/tex] - Initial and final angular speeds, in radians per second.

If we know that [tex]I_{A} = 17.9\,kg\cdot m^{2}[/tex], [tex]I_{B} = 33.1\,kg\cdot m^{2}[/tex] and [tex]\omega_{A} = 6.27\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex], then the final angular speed is:

[tex]\omega_{B} = \frac{I_{A}}{I_{B}}\times \omega_{A}[/tex]

[tex]\omega_{B} = \frac{17.9\,kg\cdot m^{3}}{33.1\,kg\cdot m^{2}}\times 6.27\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

[tex]\omega_{B} = 3.390\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex] ([tex]32.372\,rpm[/tex])

The rotational speed of the trapeze artist is 32.372 revolutions per second.
