Question: A solid sphere with a radius of 0 . 2 2 m and a mass of 1 4 kg is initially spinning on its axis

A solid sphere with a radius of 0.22 m and a mass of 14 kg is initially spinning on its axis with a period of 12 s.
What is the angular velocity of the sphere?
Answer Choices for Problem 6.1
0.083 rad/s
1.91 rad/s
1.07 rad/s
0.52 rad/s
None of these.
You decide to stop the sphere from spinning by placing your hand on the edge one radius away from the axis of rotation. Your hand creates a torque that slows the sphere to a stop in 15s.
Which of the following is CORRECT? In all answers, the torque from your hand is the same.
Answer Choices for Problem 6.2
None of these are correct.
If the sphere had a larger radius but the same mass, it would take more time to stop.
If the sphere had less mass but the same radius, it would stop in the same amount of time.
If the sphere had more mass but the same radius, it would take less time to stop.
If the sphere had a smaller radius but the same mass, it would take more time to stop.
