Paragraph for question nos. 1 to 3
A demonstration often done in physics classes is for a student to hold a spinning bicycle wheel while
standing on a platform that is free to rotate.The wheel’s rotation axis is initially horizontal. Then the
student repositions the wheel so that its axis of rotation is vertical. As he repositions the wheel, the
platform begins to rotate opposite to the wheel’s rotation. If we assume no friction acts to resist rotation
of the platform, then the platform continues to rotate as long as the wheel is held with its axis vertical. If
the student returns the wheel to its original orientation, the rotation of the platform stops.

Platform at rest Platform rotating

L P latformStudent

The platform is free to rotate about a vertical axis.As a result, once the student steps onto the platform,
the vertical component Ly of the angular momentum of the system (student + platform + wheel) is

conserved. The horizontal components of L are not conserved. The platform is not free to rotate about
any horizontal axis since the floor can exert external torques to keep it from doing so. In vector language,
we would saythat onlythe vertical component of the external torque is zero, so onlythe vertical component
of angular momentum is conserved.

Initially Ly = 0 since the student and the platform have zero angular momentum and the wheel’s angular
momentum is horizontal.When thewheel is repositioned so that it spins with anupward angular momentum
(Ly > 0), the rest of the system (the student and the platform) must acquire an equal magnitude of
downward angular momentum (Ly < 0) so that the vertical component of the total angular momentum is
still zero.

The student and the wheel apply torques to each other to transfer angular momentum from one part of
the system to the other. As the student lifts the wheel, he feels a strange twisting force that tends to rotate
him about a horizontal axis. The platform prevents the horizontal rotation by exerting unequal normal
forces on the student’s feet. The horizontal component of the torque is so counterintuitive that, if the
student is not expecting it, he can easily be thrown from the platform.
