To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the angular motion kinematic equations, as well as the concepts related to the balance of Forces (Friction and Newton's second law).

We will convert the angular velocity values into international units therefore

\omega = 33 rev/min

\omega = 33\frac{rev}{min} (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})

\omega = 3.455rad/s

PART A)

Centripetal acceleration is defined as the product between the radius and the square of the angular velocity, then

a = \omega^2 \times r

a = (3.455)^2 (6.2*10^{-2})

a = 0.740096m/s^2

PART B) The friction force must be equivalent to the centripetal force (in Terms of the Newton's second law) to maintain balance therefore,

Frictional Force:

F_f = \mu mg

Centripetal force

F_c = ma

Equating the equations we will have,

\mu mg = ma

\mu = \frac{a}{g}

\mu = \frac{0.740096}{9.8}

\mu = 0.075

Therefore the minimum value of the coefficient of static fricton will be 0.075

Why a surface that always have a perpendicular is an equipotential
Mariulka [41]
Answer:

An equipotential surface is circular in the two-dimensional. Since the electric field lines are directed radially away from the charge, hence they are opposite to the equipotential lines. Therefore, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface.
