Homework Statement



A cylindrical fishing reel has a mass of
0.623 kg and a radius of 1.83 cm. A fric-
tion clutch in the reel exerts a restraining
torque of 0.614 N · m if a fish pulls on the line.
The fisherman gets a bite, and the reel be-
gins to spin with an angular acceleration of
49.1 rad/s2.
What force does the fish exert on the line?
Answer in units of N

Homework Equations


Torque=I(alpha)
I=1/2mr^2
(torque)=rfsin(theta)

The Attempt at a Solution


Is it as easy (torque)=rF?

You are required to show something here. A free body diagram would be good, plus any thoughts, a description of what you have tried (with working) or an explanation of why you cannot get started.
