MCQ
A swimmer while jumping into river from a height easily forms a loop in air if
  • He pulls his arms and legs in
  • B
    He spreads his arms and legs
  • C
    He keeps himself straight
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
He pulls his arms and legs in
a
(a)

Using angular momentum conservation, by pulling his arms and legs in, Moment of inertia will decrease hence $\omega$ will increase.
