#$&* This note is to confirm that I viewed the asst 32 lab on conversion of gravitational or elastic potential energy to angular kinetic energy. I did note that the paper clip and string provided enough linear force to turn the wheel it was attached to and create angular motion. Being from a manufacturing background, I want to say that the conversion of linear motion to circular motion and visa-versa has many applications. Such as AC or DC motors driving a linear actuator back and forth.
