Solution to Fun with Fundamentals Puzzler: Free for ball

  Review the problem: Free for Ball.   The ball's spin is directed as shown in the sketch. It tumbles towards one very tightly covered receiver. It's gyrating at Ψ = 4 rad/sec. So what is its angular velocity?   7.62 rad/sec.       Try your hand at the next puzzler: Badger Banter.
