A toy helicopter consists of a rotor A, a body B, and a small ballast C. The axis of rotation of the rotor goes through G, which is the center of mass of the body B and ballast C. While holding the body (and ballast) fixed, the rotor is spun as shown with a given angular velocity .If there is no friction between the helicopter’s body and the rotor’s shaft, will the body of the helicopter start spinning once the toy is released? Note: Concept problems are about explanations, not computations.
