In the figure here, a cylinder having a mass of 2.7 kg can rotate about its central axis through point O. Forces are applied as shown: F₁ = 8.0 N, F₂ = 9.6 N, F3 = 6.0 N, and F4 = 6.4 N. Also, r = 5.4 cm and R = 10 cm. Taking the clockwise direction to be negative, find the angular acceleration of the cylinder. (During the rotation, the forces maintain their same angles relative to the cylinder.) Number IN Unit Rotation axis F₁ R 0

A professor sits on a rotating stool that is spinning at 10.0 while she holds a heavy weight in each of her hands. Her outstretched hands are 0.765 m from the axis of rotation, which passes through her head into the center of the stool. When she symmetrically pulls the weights in closer to her body, her angular speed increases to 20.5. Neglecting the mass of the professor, how far are the weights from the rotational axis after she pulls her arms in?
