Thank you so much, but now I think the conversation has gone beyond my understanding haha, but I'll try to show this to my teacher and see if he'll decide to change his mind. Thank you mpresic3 as well for the help.

Thank you, I'm waiting for a response from my teacher to see if he'll finally believe me. So, the torque is what transfers angular momentum in this system? Someone on reddit told me that the wheel would create an equal and opposite torque... is this correct?

1. A system consists of a disk rotating on a frictionless axle and a piece of clay moving toward it as shown above. Outside edge of the disk is moving at a linear speed of V and the clay is moving at speed v/2. How does angular momentum of system after the clay sticks compare to the angular...

Thanks! I believe I have this well understood now. Thanks to all others who helped me look past my stupidity as well. I'm brand new to this community, and this was a great first experience. Thanks

Well, ΣFx and ΣFy must both equal 0 in static equilibrium. How could I separate Fy in the positive direction among the cord and hinge? edit - a light bulb turned on in my brain - Could I find Fy of the cord, then subtract from the total Fy in the positive direction to find that of the hinge?

That's what I was thinking, but I wasn't exactly sure how to get an answer if I did so. May I request guidance?

Sorry, I'll keep this in mind. I'm a newby here who didn't pay enough attention to how to do the template, simply hoping my text would suffice. edit - post is now in the proper template i believe

1. Link to problem and the answer I got - https://ibb.co/ncGfDA 2. I got an answer, but I was wondering if this is correct or not? Am I correct to say (in part c) that the vertical component of the hinge's force will be equal to the sum of the vertical forces being exerted in the negative...
