(II) The platter of the hard drive of a computer rotates at 7200 rpm (revolution per minute) a) What is the angular velocity(rad/s) of the platter? (b) If the reading head of the drive is located 3.00 cm from the rotation axis, what is the linear speed of the point on the platter just below it? (c) If a single bit requires 0.50 μm of length along the direction of motion, how many bits per second can the writing head write when it is 3.00 cm from the axis?

Check Your Understanding Which has greater angular momentum: a solid sphere of mass m rotating at a constant angular frequency 0 about the z-axis, or a solid cylinder of same mass and rotation rate about the z-axis?
A space station consists of a giant rotating hollow cylinder of mass 106kg including people on the station and a radius of 100.00 m. It is rotating in space at 3.30 rev/min in order to produce artificial gravity.
