Question
A constant force F of the same magnitude is applied a solid sphere, a solid disk, and a solid rod, as shown in the figure. The sphere, the cylinder and the rod have the same mass M and are initially at
rest. The force is always applied normal to the vector connecting the center of mass of the object and the point of force application. Each body is constrained to rotate about a line through its center
as shown in the figure. Which of the bodies will have the smallest angular acceleration? Neglect the friction.
