Work to see how fast one must pull on toilet paper to get it to tear:

let \(f\) be the force required to tear it

let \(M\) be the Mass of the toilet paper roll

let \(I\) be the rotational inertia of the roll ( = \((\frac{1}{2})(M)(R)^2\)

Variations/Modifications:

You could require the students to derive \(I\)

You could require the students to calculate \(M\) given information about the dimensions and how heavy some toilet paper is
