Chapter 13, Problem 74PQ

When a person jumps off a diving platform, she imparts some amount of angular momentum to her body. (To see why, consider a person who jumps straight up: She falls straight down. When a person jumps off a diving platform, she must jump at an angle to the vertical, or she would land on the board.) While she is in the air, angular momentum is conserved. Draw a free-body diagram of the diver in the air and use it to explain why angular momentum is conserved during flight. It may be useful to include the axes of rotation for the two common types of spinning moves that divers perform: twists and flips (Fig. P13.74).

Divers change their body position in midair while rotating about their center of mass. In one dive, the diver leaves the board with her body nearly straight, then tucks into a somersault position. If the moment of inertia of the diver in a straight position is 14 kg m2 and in a tucked position is 4.0 kg m2, by what factor is her angular velocity when tucked greater than when straight?
A 40-kg boy is standing on the edge of a stationary 30-kg platform that is free to rotate. The boy tries to walk around the platform in a counterclockwise direction. As he does: O both go around with equal angular velocities but in opposite directions. O the platform rotates in a clockwise direction while the boy goes around in a counterclockwise direction relative to the ground. O the platform rotates in a clockwise direction just fast enough so that the boy remains stationary relative to the ground. O the platform doesn't rotate.
Consider a wooden rectangular slab of mass M, length L, and width W nailed vertically to a wall. The nail is located approximately at the middle of the top edge (see Figure 1). You use a hammer to hit the bottom right corner with an average force F, and the hammer is contact with the slab for a small time Δt. The moment of inertia for the axis passing through the center of the slab, pointing away from the wall, is I=(1/12)M(L^2+W^2). a) What is the angular speed of the slab about the nail just after you have hit the slab? Explain every part of your working carefully; in particular, state any assumptions you make. Hint: consider ττ=dL/dt. Use the torque due to the force exerted by the hammer.
