In a tape recorder, the tape is pulled past the read-and writes heads at a constant speed by the drive mechanism. Consider the reel from which the tape is pulled. As the tape is pulled from it, the radius of the roll of remaining tape decreases how does the torque on the reel change with time? How does the angular speed of the reel change in time? If the drive mechanism is switched on so that the tape is suddenly jerked with a large force, is the tape more likely to break when it is being pulled from a nearly full reel or from a nearly empty reel?
