Question

Finding the angular speed of a cylinder ..

Answer 2

Okay.
So w (angular v) = v (linear) / r
w = 1.247 / 0.12 m
w = 10.391 which is incorrect
I feel like I have to do something to account for the force of the string on the cylinder? I suppose I could solve for T somehow as T = 2pi / t but yeah.

Answer 3

I don't think that will help me in this particular case. I understand the basic principles of this problem, but not enough, apparently, in this specific problem.

Answer 4

convert meters per second to radians per second...

Answer 6

I realize this is in the wrong category, oops! Thank you anyways.
