Im a little fuzzy on the difference between the two. If you look at the attached picture, if that force stays with the object as it rotates, like a hand pushing in the same spot, would that force cause an angular acceleration?

Thank you guys for your help. I am going to see if I can figure out this problem I was working on now

In physics, we learned about friction between one object sliding across another, but when we got to torque and angular velocity, etc, there was never any mention of how to calculate friction between 2 objects rotating in place. Say you have a plate on top of a table and it is rotating about the...
