A figure skater has a rotational inertia of 276 kg m2 when spinning with arms and one leg outstretched. She is rotating at 56 rpm. When she brings in her arms, her rotational inertia becomes 85 kg m². What is her new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? (Note: the randomization of numbers may create very unrealistic situations. Just do the math and enter what you get.) What is her new angular velocity in rad/s?
