Homework Statement
A professor holds a bicycle wheel rotating at 402 rev/min by a string attached to a weightless axle 20 cm from the wheel. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. If all 7.5 kg of the wheel can be considered to be at its 53.6 cm radius, at what frequency in rpm does it precess?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Frequency=omega
I honestly am stumped with this problem but I was thinking of using a rotational kinematics equation to solve this.
The 402 rev/min can be converted to Omega initial. We can solved for Omega final using wf^2=wi^2 +2a(delta x).
Please help if you can!
