A string is wrapped several times around the rim of a small hoop with radius 8.

00 cm and
mass 0.180 kg. The free end of the string is held in place and the hoop is released from rest
as shown in the figure. The two questions that follow concern the hoop after it has descended
a distance 90.0 cm.

a) What is the angular speed of the rotating hoop at this point?

b) What is the speed of the centre of mass of the hoop at this point?
