A swimmer while jumping into water from a height easily forms a loop in the air, if

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

He pulls his arms and legs in

Option A (He pulls his arms and legs in) is correct because pulling the arms and legs in decreases the moment of inertia, which, due to conservation of angular momentum, increases the angular velocity, allowing for a tighter loop.

It is easier for a swimmer jumping into water from a height to describe a loop in the air by A uniform thin rod

\mathrm{AB}

of length

\mathrm{L}

has linear mass density

\mu(x)=a+\frac{b x}{L}

, where

x

is measured from

\mathrm{A}

. If the

\mathrm{CM}

of the rod lies at a distance of

\left(\frac{7}{12}\right) \mathrm{L}

from

\mathrm{A}

, then a and

\mathrm{b}

1.0 \mathrm{~g}

is rotating in a circle of diameter

8 \mathrm{~cm}

. Its moment of inertia will be The angular velocity of a particle is given by

\omega = {t^4} + 2{t^3}

then its angular acceleration of the particle at

t = 1\,sec
