If the radius of the Earth were to suddenly decrease,then:

$(a)$ $A$ 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?

$A$ wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed $\omega$ on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is $I$ and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of moment of inertia $3I$ initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is:

$A$ thin uniform circular disc of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity $\omega$. Another disc of the same thickness and radius but of mass $\frac{1}{8} M$ is placed gently on the first disc coaxially. The angular velocity of the system is now

$A$ person of $80\, kg$ mass is standing on the rim of a circular platform of mass $200\, kg$ rotating about its axis at $5$ revolutions per minute $(rpm)$. The person now starts moving towards the centre of the platform. What will be the rotational speed (in $rpm$) of the platform when the person reaches its centre?

$A$ man is standing on the edge of a circular platform. The platform is rotating with a constant angular velocity about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane. If the man walks along the radius towards the axis, the angular velocity will ........ .
