| Jan 24, 2021 at 22:16 | comment | added | nocomment | @Azzinoth Thanks for the reply. I managed to work it out using the fact that gravitational force plays the role of centripetal force in this case. But I also thought that, if you take a wheel - outer parts are going to have greater speed than the inner ones, but their angular velocities are the same. | |
