Please can you help with the following.
If a ball which is bias weighted at a point on its circumference is enclosed in a socket which is few thousandths of an inch bigger in diameter than the ball will the weighted bias cause the ball to rotate as the socket is turned in the opposite direction or will the ball simply turn with the rotation of the socket in the same direction. I guess it has a lot to do with friction, weight bias etc. Can anyone help with any design rules for this.
Many thanks in advance.
