2. When jumping from a platform, a high diver who is 2 m tall and has a mass of 65 kg initially holds his body essentially extended and straight and rotates at 5 rad while falling. The diver then tucks into a sphere-like shape of radius 0.5 m and tumbles rapidly. Calculate the diver's angular speed after the tuck. (Hint: Initially the diver can be treated as a rod. After tucking, he can be treated as a solid sphere.)
