The discussion revolves around the topic of rotational dynamics and conservation of angular momentum, particularly their significance in engineering fields. The original poster expresses uncertainty about how to approach the question and seeks guidance on defining key concepts.
The conversation is ongoing, with participants providing prompts and guidance to help the original poster think critically about the topic. There is an emphasis on the need for the original poster to demonstrate their understanding before receiving direct assistance.
Participants note that the original poster must show their best efforts before receiving tutorial help, indicating a learning-first approach. There is a focus on identifying everyday machines that utilize rotational motion, which may be part of the assignment's requirements.

Can you give some examples?Lnewqban said:No, no; those are parts.
Whole machines which internal moving parts only rotate around a shaft (no reciprocating parts).
No, that is your assignment. You seriously can't think of any machines that we use every day that involve rotational motion? Walk outside and look around...dantetoledo said:
Woo-wee, beats me! I'll wait until the OP figures it out...kuruman said:
