Explain that angular velocity is a vector and its direction is given by the right-hand screw rule.

Four identical point masses $m$ are joined by light strings of length $l$ and arranged to form a square frame. The center of the table coincides with the center of the arrangement. If the arrangement rotates with a constant angular velocity $\omega$,find the tension in each string.

$A$ mass $m$ is supported by a massless string wound around a uniform cylinder of mass $M$ and radius $R$. On releasing the mass from rest,it will fall with an acceleration of:
