Answer:
a) ω = 9.86 rad/s
b) ac = 194. 4 m/s²
c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8
Explanation:
a) angular speed, ω = 2πf, where f is frequency of revolution
1 rps = 6.283 rad/s, π = 3.142
ω = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 6.28
ω = 9.86 rad/s
b) centripetal acceleration, a = rω²
where r is radius in meters; r = 200 cm or 2 m
a = 2 * 9.86²
a = 194. 4 m/s²
c) µs = frictional force/ normal force
frictional force = centripetal force = ma; where a is centripetal acceleration
normal force = mg; where g = 9.8 m/s²
µs = ma/mg = a/g
µs = 194.4 ms⁻²/9.8 ms⁻²
c) minimum coefficient of static friction, µs = 19.8
