Detailed Solution

A circular disc is rotating about an axis along horizontal plane with a person standing at an edge with an angular velocity

*Obviously possess greater moment inertia I1

Question Image

 

 

 

 

 Let angular velocity =ω1

*As the person walk closer to centre then mass will be more concentrated closer to axis hence moment of inertia decreases then I2<I1

By law of conservation of angular momentum

I1ω1=I2ω2

Now we can have

ω1<ω2 I1>I2

So angular velocity increases
