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

Suppose the collision between the packages is perfectly elastic. To what height does the package of mass m rebound?
Hitman42 [59]

The height, h to which the package of mass m bounces to depends on its initial velocity, v and the acceleration due to gravity, g and is given below:

h = \frac{v^{2}}{2g}

<h3>What are perfectly elastic collision?</h3>

Perfectly elastic collisions are collisions in which the momentum as well as the energy of the colliding bodies is conserved.

In perfectly elastic collisions, the sum of momentum before collision is equal to the momentum after collision.

Also, the sum of kinetic energy before collision is equal to the sum of kinetic energy after collision.

Since some of the Kinetic energy is converted to potential energy of the body;

\frac{mv^{2}}{2} = mgh

h = \frac{v^{2}}{2g}

Therefore, the height to which the package m bounces to depends on its initial velocity and the acceleration due to gravity.
