A small metal block with mass of 140 g sits on a horizontally rotating turntable. The turntable makes exactly 2 revolutions each second. The disk is located 6 cm from the axis of ration of the turntable. Answer each of the following question:

a. What is the frictional force acting on the disk?
b. The disk will slide off the turntable If it is located at a radius larger than 11 cm from the axis of rotation. What is the coefficient of static friction?

a) Frictional force acting on the disc = 1.326N

b) Coefficient of static friction = 1.77

Explanation:

mass of the metal block = 140 g = 0.14 kg

Frequency of the turn table = 2 Revs/sec

distance of the disc from the axis of the turn table, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m

a) Frictional force acting on the disc

F = ma

a = V²/r ; V = ωr;

a = ω²r²/r    ;   a = ω²r

F = mω²r

ω = 2πf = 2π * 2 = 4π

ω =  4π

F = 0.14 * (4π)² * 0.06

F = 1.326 N

b) Coefficient of static friction

F = μmg(1)

F = mω²r(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

μmg =  mω²r

μ = ω²r/g

r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

μ = ( 4π)²  *  0.11/9.8

μ = 1.77

it should be -8.6 cm hope this out

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
