I have been struggling with this problem for a couple of hours, I have attempted a few things but have not come up with coherent results... Please help...

Homework Statement



A girl throws a thin hoop to the right with an initial velocity of 4ft/s and with initial angular velocity of 4rad/s(counterclockwise). The hoop weighs 1lb with a diameter of 3ft. Determine how long does the hoop take to stop slipping. And does it return to the girl or does it follow it's original direction. The coefficient of friction is 0.3.

Homework Equations



I=MR^2
