1. Homework Statement
{Number 5 on attachment. It has picture.}
When a spinning bike wheel is placed hor-
izontally, hung from a pivot at one end, the
axis of rotation of the wheel will swing in a
horizontal circle.
In which direction does it turn (as viewed
from above)?
1. downward
2. horizontally, CCW
3. upward
4. horizontally, CW
2. Homework Equations
Any? I'm unsure.
3. The Attempt at a Solution
I was thinking that it was downward, but I'm not sure how to prove my answer. (We're supposed to show work.) Any help?
