Question

A coin rests on a record 0.15 m from its center. The record turns on a turntable that rotates at variable speed. The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the record is 0.30.

Required:
What is the maximum coin speed at which it does not slip?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.66m/s

Explanation:

We are expected to solve for the velocity with no slip condition

we know that the expression that relate coefficient of friction and velocity is given as

μs = v^2/rg

Given

coefficient of friction μs = 0.3

radius r= 0.15

assume g=9.81m/s^2

substituting into the expression we have

0.3= v^2/0.15*9.81

v^2=0.3*0.15*9.81

v^2=0.44145

v=√0.44145

v=0.66

therefore the velocity is 0.66m/s
