**Title: Understanding the Physics of Spinning Tops****Introduction:**A top is a classic toy designed to spin on its pointed end by pulling a string wrapped around its body. This example explores the physics behind how a top spins using angular acceleration.**Problem Statement:**A string with a length of 64 cm is wrapped around a top at a point where its radius measures 2.2 cm. The string's thickness is negligible. Initially, the top is at rest. As the free end of the string is pulled, it unwinds, providing the top with an angular acceleration of +11 rad/s². Determine the final angular velocity of the top when the string is completely unwound.**Diagrams:**1. **Before String is Pulled:** - The top is shown with a string wound around it. The point where the string is wrapped represents the radius (r) of 2.2 cm.2. **After String is Pulled:** - The top is depicted without the string around it, indicating the string has been completely unwound. - An arrow is labeled with angular velocity (ω), representing the direction of spin. - Another arrow (s) represents the displacement of the string as it is pulled.**Conclusion:**This problem illustrates the principles of angular motion and how force applied via a string can produce rotational movement. By calculating the angular velocity, we gain insights into how stored energy in the form of tension in the string gets transferred to rotational kinetic energy in the top.

Ice skaters can increase the angular speed of their spins by pulling their arms towards their body. A skater with their arms extended has a moment of inertia of 2.49 kg m2 and a moment of inertia of 0.77 kg m2 after pulling their arms in. If a skater begins a spin with their arms extended such that they are rotating with an angular speed of 2.07 rad/s, what will their rotation speed be when they pull their arms in?
A small 0.400-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 3.30 m. The angular speed is 6.63 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 113N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move?
A motorcyclist is traveling along a road and accelerates for 4.11 s to pass another cyclist.

A circular disk with a radius of 0.38 m is subject to 2 tangentially applied forces. The disc is fixed such that it will rotate about its center. Both forces produce a torque in the same direction. The mass of the disc is 0.73 kg. The moment of inertia of a disc is I =1/2MR^2 F1 = 2.3 N applied at the outer edge of the disc. F2 = 3.6 N applied at a distance of 0.29 from the center of the disc. What is the angular acceleration of the disc?
A capstan is a device used on old sailing ships to raise the anchor. A sailor pushes the long lever, turning the capstan and winding up the anchor rope. If the capstan turns at a constant speed, the net torque on it, is zero. The rope tension due to the weight of the anchor is 1500 N. The distance from the axis to the point on the lever where the sailor pushes is seven times the radius of the capstan around which the rope is wound.With what force must the sailor push in order to turn the capstan at a constant speed, meaning that the net torque on the capstan is zero?
Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a great amount of angular momentum when rotating. A wind turbine has a total of 3 blades. Each blade has a mass of m = 5500 kg distributed uniformly along its length and extends a distance r = 44 m from the center of rotation. The turbine rotates with a frequency of f = 15 rpm. Calculate the angular momentum of the wind turbine, in units of kilogram meters squared per second.
