Homework Statement



A grinder consists of a 6.01 kg steel block on a 1.46 m long arm that spins around a table. If the angular acceleration is -1.62 rads/s2, what is the coefficient of friction between the steel block and the table?

I'm having trouble with attempting the question, especially drawing free body diagram for this problem.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
