Imagine a sphere on a frictionless surface. A string is attached to the top of the sphere, as shown. If a force is applied to the string, how will the sphere move? Will there be any torque at all, even though there is no friction? Or will the sphere move in exactly the same way as if the string was attached to the side of the sphere?
