Two skaters, each of mass 51.2 kg, approach each other along parallel paths separated by 2.92 m. They have equal and opposite velocities of 1.38 m/s. The first skater carries a long light pole 2.92 m long, and the second skater grabs the end of it as he passes; see Fig. Assume frictionless ice. (a) Describe quantitatively the motion of the skaters after they are connected by the pole. (b) By pulling on the pole, the skaters reduce their separation to 0.940 m. Find their angular speed then.
