Figure 6-4
-A 200 g hamster is running along a horizontal wheel, 26 cm in diameter, at 30 cm/s, remaining in the same spot with respect to the table. Suddenly, it slips and spins for a while with the wheel at the same speed. What is the hamster's angular momentum with respect to the centre of the wheel (a) while it is running and (b) while it spins with the wheel?
