My Physics-101 class did problems like calculating the angular
acceleration and terminal angular velocity of a role of toilet paper,
when the paper is pulled off the role at a constant linear velocity,
taking into account the thickness and length of the paper, and diameter
of the central tube. I guess Physics-101 must have changed since then.
