Q.

A boy stands over the center of a horizontal platform which is rotating freely with a speed of 2 revolutions per second about a vertical axis through the center of the platform and straight up through the boy. He holds 2 kg masses in each of his hands close to his body. The combined moment of inertia of the system is 1 kg x metre2. The boy now stretches his arms so as to hold the masses far from his body. In this situation, the moment of inertia of the system increases to 2 kg x metre2. The kinetic energy of the system in the latter case as compared with that in the previous case will
