$(a)$ $A$ child stands at the centre of a turntable with his two arms outstretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of $40\; rev/min$. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his hands back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to $2/5$ times the initial value? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction.
$(b)$ Show that the child's new kinetic energy of rotation is more than the initial kinetic energy of rotation. How do you account for this increase in kinetic energy?
