Homework Statement
A famous practical joke makes use of a suitcase, inside which is mounted a flywheel which is rapidly spinning about a horizontal axis. Describe what a porter experiences when he tries to turn the corner carrying the suitcase. If the flywheel has a mass of 5 kg, a radius of gyration of 20 cm, and is spinning at 600 rpm, suggest a way the porter should carry the suitcase to be able to go round a right-angled bend in just 3 seconds.
Homework Equations
torque=(moment of inertia)(angular acceleration)
moment of inertia=(radius of gyration)^2(mass)
The Attempt at a Solution
Please see attached file for my solution. I think I have the description of what the porter experiences correct but i don't no about the rest.
!Thanks!
