Question

A spool is placed on table top. The static friction coefficient between the table top and the spool is high.

Answer 1

The best option will be 4.  In the opposite direction of the applied force.  If we think about angular motion and take clockwise direction as negative and anti-clockwise as positive. By finding the direction that is clockwise Or negative you can say. So, the movement of the spool will be opposite in direction of the applied force.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) In the same direction as the applied force.

Explanation:

As we can see the figure the force is applied on the string to pull the string towards us.

Now as we know that friction is sufficient high so that contact point will not slide here and always remains at rest

So here the applied force will be the only force which will exert the torque on the cylinder about the bottom contact point of the cylinder with the ground.

So here the rotation of the cylinder will be due to this torque and it will be in the direction of applied force only
