Express your answer using two significant figures.

rev

A diver comes off a board with arms straight up and legs straight down, giving her a moment of inertia about her rotation axis of 18kg?m 2   . She then tucks into a small ball, decreasing this moment of inertia to 3.6kg?m 2   . While tucked, she makes two complete revolutions in 1.3s .

Part A

If she hadn't tucked at all, how many revolutions would she have made in the 1.8s from board to water?
