Direction of Angular MomentumDirection of Angular Momentum
Right Hand Rule Wrap fingers of right hand around direction of
rotation, thumb gives direction of angular momentum.

Example: Two DisksExample: Two Disks A disk of mass M and radius R rotates around the z axis
with angular velocity i. A second identical disk, initially not rotating, is dropped on top of the first. There is friction between the disks, and eventually they rotate together with angular velocity f. Find f.

Example: Merry Go RoundExample: Merry Go RoundFour students (mass 70kg) are riding on a merry-go-round (solid disk of mass = 90kg rotating with angular velocity =3 rad/s. Initially all four students are on the outer edge. Suddenly 3 of students pull themselves to within 0.25m of the center. What is the final angular velocity of the merry-go-round?

DemoDemoYou are sitting on a freely rotating bar-stool with your arms stretched out and a weight in each hand. Your professor gives you a twist and you start rotating around a vertical axis though the center of the stool. You can assume that the bearing the stool turns on is frictionless, and that there is no net external torque present once you have started spinning. You now pull your arms and hands (and weights) close to your body.

Turning the bike wheelTurning the bike wheelA student sits on a barstool holding a bike wheel. The wheel is initially spinning CCW in the horizontal plane (as viewed from above) L= 25 kg m2/s She now turns the bike wheel over. What happens?
A. She starts to spin CCW.B. She starts to spin CW.C. Nothing

Start w/ angular momentum L pointing up from wheel. When wheel is flipped, no more angular momentum from it pointing up, so need to spin person/stool to conserve L!
