How do you solve problems for angular speed and angular momentum?

1. A torque of 0.15 Nm is applied to an egg beater. If the egg beater starts at rest, what is its angular momentum after 0.60 s? If the moment of inertia of the egg beater is 2.3脳10^-3 kg m^2, what is its angular speed after 0.60 s?





2. A diver tucks her body in midflight, decreasing her moment of inertia by a factor of two. By what factor does her angular speed change?
