Ok, so I am trying to learn this on my own. Can you explain it to me now?

Does anyone know if this is correct?

1. B -- The spinning wheel wants to continue to play on the same plane so in order for this to happen the right side would need to come towards you. This is the best I am coming up with. Is this correct?

Does anyone know if this approach is correct?

Upon closer consideration, I think the answer is B. Can someone please confirm this yes or no?

Yes, it is to the left, I typed it wrong.

Homework Statement A 230 kg beam 2.7 m in length slides broadside down the ice with a speed of 18 m/s. A 65 kg man at rest grabs one end as it goes past and hangs on as both he and the beam go spinning down the ice. Assume frictionless motion. (a) How fast does the center of mass of the...

Homework Statement A force of F = (3.00 i - 2.00 j) N acts at a location r = (1.00 i + 2.00 j) m on an object. What is the magnitude of the torque that this force applies about an axis through the origin perpendicular to the xy plane? Homework Equations Torque is equal to the cross...

So, the angular momentum is originally to the right and if it changes slightly to the left, then the change is away from me. Is this the correct rationale to defend an answer of A.

Does that mean that the answer I should be going with is A?

1. You are walking holding on to the axle of a spinning bicycle wheel with one hand on either side of the wheel. The top part of the wheel is moving away from you and the bottom is moving toward you and the axle is horizontal. As you start to turn left, you feel the right side of the axle A...
