A man stands on a platform that is rotating (without friction) with an angular speed of 1.0 rev/s; his arms are outstretched and
he holds a brick in each hand. The rotational inertia of the system consisting of the man, bricks, and platform about the central vertical axis of the platform is 6.0 kg·m2. By moving the bricks the man decreases the rotational inertia of the system to 2.0 kg·m2.?
The addition of 24 kJ of energy will allow all of the mercury and lead to change from solid to liquid. The temperature of each substance will also increase.
