A circular platform is free to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through its center. A tortoise is sitting at the edge of the platform. Now, the platform is given an angular velocity c.o0. When the tortoise moves along the diameter of the platform with a constant velocity (with respect to the platform), the angular velocity of the platform omega(t) will vary with time t as |

`I_(i)W_(i) = I_(F)omega_(F)`, hence `OMEGA` increases. Once the tortoise reaches the centre `omega` becomes MAXIMUM (since moment of inertia is minimum). Then the moment of inertia again starts increasing (as tortoise MOVES away from the centre). |
