Floating in space, but the center of mass is in the middle since the mass is uniformly distributed. Assume frictionless at the center and that the force is being applied externally at one end, as depicted in my magnificent paint picture
Hmm, yes up->down. So gravity will be in play. What amount of force would it take to accelerate to that position in say 0.1 seconds (then how much force to decelerate it to stop it from over rotating).
Arbitrary at the moment. Does it matter if it is uniformly distributed mass?
No, although I can see how it would seem that way. I've actually only ever taken one physics course, but this is a combination of curiosity as well as something that would help me for my own independent things.
As depicted in the picture.
Sorry, I have minimal experience with physics at all lol, but my paint game is strong right?
It is a 1 kg object with the center of mass perfectly in the center, rotated 90 degrees in 0.1 seconds. What about in 1 second?

Hi PF,
As you all may know, the densest naturally occurring material is Osmium, which is 22.59 g/cm3...but it also costs $100/g.
Is there any manmade dense material that is 25 g/cm3 and under $1/g? I know lead is the "dense" material to buy in bulk, but even that is only 11 g/cm3.
Any help...
