6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium
$A$ man, sitting firmly over a rotating stool has his arms streched. If he folds his arms, the work done by the man is
A
zero
B
positive
C
negative
D
may be positive or negative.
Solution
$K E=\frac{L^{2}}{2 I}$ since by folding arm moment of inertia decreases while angular momentum remain constant. So $K E$ will increases therefore work done by the man is positive.
