Answer:
w=3.05 rad/s or 29.88rpm
Explanation:
k = coefficient of friction = 0.3900
R = radius of the cylinder = 2.7m
V = linear speed of rotation of the cylinder
w = angular speed = V/R or to rewrite V = w*R
N = normal force to cylinder
N=


These must be balanced (the net force on the people will be 0) so set them equal to each other.





There are 2*pi radians in 1 revolution so:

So you need about 30 RPM to keep people from falling out the bottom
Answer:
5.740 m
Explanation:
PE = mgh
900.0 J = (16.00 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h
h = 5.740 m
GPE= height x mass x gravitational field strength
5 x 10 x 9,8=490J
