You lay a pencil on a smooth desk (ignore sliding friction). You push the pencil, exerting a constant force first directly at its center of mass and then close to the tip of the pencil. In both cases, the force is exerted perpendicular to the body of the pencil. If the forces that you exert on the pencil are exactly the same in magnitude and direction, in which case is the translational acceleration of the pencil greater in magnitude?
