'''Setup and Procedure:'''

 1. Set Rotating Platform out on the floor.
 1. Level the platform using the bubble level in the center of it(see photo) by adjusting the relative heights of the three brass feet.
 1. Have the volunteer carefully step on to the rotating platform.
 1. Hand the volunteer the pair of dumbbells, and have him or her hold one in each hand straight out from his or her sides to make a "T shape".
 1. Make sure it's okay with the volunteer to give him or her a little spin. If it is, then give the volunteer a little push to set him or her spinning. Otherwise, you'll need a new volunteer.
 1. Once spinning, have the volunteer slowly bring his or her arms in close to the center of rotation. The rotational speed will increase.
 1. Have the volunteer extend his or her arms again, and observe that the rotational speed assumes (close to thanks to friction) its original value.
 1. To stop the volunteer, let him or her know that you are going to stop his or her spinning. Do so by gently grabbing his or her shoulders. If this is set up next to the lecture bench, the volunteer can stop alone by grabbing the lecture bench in passing.

 * The volunteer should be careful in getting on/off the rotating platform.

'''Discussion:'''

 . Once the volunteer is spinning, he or she has some amount of angular momentum which must be conserved. This is given by L = I*ω. When the volunteer brings his or her arms into the center, the moment of inertia I is decreased. Since L is constant, ω must increase, which is what we observe.

Important Setup Notes:

  • Demonstration may require practice.

Setup and Procedure:

  1. Set Rotating Platform out on the floor.
  2. Level the platform using the bubble level in the center of it(see photo) by adjusting the relative heights of the three brass feet.
  3. Have the volunteer carefully step on to the rotating platform.
  4. Hand the volunteer the pair of dumbbells, and have him or her hold one in each hand straight out from his or her sides to make a "T shape".
  5. Make sure it's okay with the volunteer to give him or her a little spin. If it is, then give the volunteer a little push to set him or her spinning. Otherwise, you'll need a new volunteer.
  6. Once spinning, have the volunteer slowly bring his or her arms in close to the center of rotation. The rotational speed will increase.
  7. Have the volunteer extend his or her arms again, and observe that the rotational speed assumes (close to thanks to friction) its original value.
  8. To stop the volunteer, let him or her know that you are going to stop his or her spinning. Do so by gently grabbing his or her shoulders. If this is set up next to the lecture bench, the volunteer can stop alone by grabbing the lecture bench in passing.

Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:

  • The volunteer may get dizzy from spinning.
  • The volunteer should be careful in getting on/off the rotating platform.

Discussion:

  • Once the volunteer is spinning, he or she has some amount of angular momentum which must be conserved. This is given by L = I*ω. When the volunteer brings his or her arms into the center, the moment of inertia I is decreased. Since L is constant, ω must increase, which is what we observe.
