To have the maximum effect in increasing the angular momentum of a potter's wheel, where should you apply a force with your hand?
(Points : 1)
It makes no difference where the force is applied.

You should apply a force with your hand as close to the axis of rotation as possible.

You should apply a force with your hand near the middle of the wheel.

You should apply a force with your hand at the edge of the wheel.

Then read your lecture notes. We can't give you all of your answers without you actually doing some thinking. That's bad for you, insanely boring for us.
