A bicycle wheel of radius 0.36 m and mass 3.2 kg is set spinning at 4.00 rev/s. A very light bolt is attached to extend the axle in length, and a string is attached to the axle at a distance of 0.10 m from the wheel

Initially the axle of the spinning wheel is horizontal, and the wheel is suspended only from the string. We can ignore the mass of the axle and spokes. At what rate will the wheel process about the vertical?
A) 2.9 rpm
B) 1.9 rpm
C) 18 rpm
D) 0.30 rpm
E) 0.77 rpm
