A bicycle wheel of radius 0.36 m and mass 3.2 kg is set spinning at 4.00 rev/s. A very light bolt is attached to extend the axle in length, and a string is attached to the axle at a distance of 0.10 m from the wheel. Initially the axle of the spinning wheel is horizontal, and the wheel is suspended only from the string. We can ignore the mass of the axle and spokes. At what rate will the wheel process about the vertical?

Review multiple-concept example 7 in this chapter as an aid in solving this problem. in a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. in one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.626 m. at one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 66.1 rad/s2 and an angular speed of 12.6 rad/s. (a) find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction.
