Consider applying a force of 180 N along the edge of a grindstone, which takes the shape of a solid disk with a mass of 85.0 kg and a radius of 0.300 meters. Calculate:

(a) The torque generated by this applied force.

(b) The angular acceleration produced, presuming there is no significant friction to counteract the motion.

(c) The angular acceleration when an opposing frictional force of 20.0 N is applied at a point 1.40 centimeters away from the center of rotation.
