A reasonable estimate of the moment of inertia of an ice skater spinning with her arms at her sides can be made by modeling most of her body as a uniform cylinder. Suppose the skater has a mass of 64 kg . One eighth of that mass is in her arms, which are 60 cm long and 20 cm from the vertical axis about which she rotates. The rest of her mass is approximately in the form of a 20-cm-radius cylinder.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the one arm of the skater, m = (1/16) x 64 = 4 kg

Rest mass of the skater in the form of cylinder, M = (7 / 8) x 64 kg = 56 kg

Radius of the cylinder, R = 20 cm = 0.20 m

The parallel axis theorem:
