Team of Austria – Problem no. 13 – Spinning Ice Team of Austria Markus Kunesch, Julian Ronacher, Angel Usunov, Katharina Wittmann, Bernhard Zatloukal IYPT 2008 – Trogir, Croatia Team of Austria – Problem no. 13 – Spinning Ice No. 13 Spinning Ice Pour very hot water into a cup and stir it so the water rotates slowly. Place a small ice cube at the centre of the rotating water. The ice cube will spin faster than the water around it. Investigate the parameters that influence the ice rotation.
