. Start with the following values: Radius of Cylinder = 5 m, Radius of Person’s Path = 5 m, Mass of Person = 50 kg, Mass of Cylinder = 100 kg.
3. Consider the platform a solid cylinder, and model the person as a point mass. Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the system (note: you are given the angular velocity).
4. What is the direction of the system’s angular momentum vector?
5. Calculate the angular momentum of the system. Remember to include the correct units! 7
6. Now re-position the person to a radius of 1 m (don’t change anything else). Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of this updated system.
7. What is the direction of the updated system’s angular momentum?
8. Calculate the angular momentum of the updated system?
9. How does the angular momentum of the original system compare to the updated system?
***angular velocity is 1 radian/s
