machine part has the shape of a solid uniform sphere of mass 220 gg and diameter 3.50 cmcm . It is spinning about a frictionless axle through its center, but at a point at the top of the sphere, it is scraping against metal, resulting in a friction force of  0.0200 NN at that point. Find the angular acceleration of the sphere, including the direction (a positive value would indicate the +z direction and a negative value would indicate the -z direction).
