The problem:
The metal strap used in the Angular Velocity of a Strap experiment is constrained by a vertical push pin to rotate about a hole in a die. The die is glued in place to a massive tabletop. A rubber band is attached to a point 15 cm from the axis and stretched so that it exerts a force of 3 Newtons, directed perpendicular to the rod. If this force is unopposed it will accelerate the system rapidly. You want to attach a second rubber band 5 cm from the axis to prevent the system from rotating.
How much force will that rubber band have to exert?
1 Newton
Once both of these forces are in place and the system is stationary, what (if anything) will happen if the glue holding the die to the tabletop comes loose?
The 3 Newton system will pull the other system to it
