(a) A shiny coin is on a rough horizontal turntable at a distance 0.8 m from its centre. The turntable rotates at a constant angular speed. The coefficient of friction between the shiny coin and the turntable is 0.3. Find the maximum angular speed, in radians per second, at which the turntable can rotate if the shiny coin is not going to slide. (b) The turntable is stopped, and the shiny coin is removed. An old coin is placed on the turntable at a distance 0.15 m from its centre. The turntable is made to rotate at a constant angular speed of 45 revolutions per minute. (1) Find the angular speed of the turntable in radians per second. (ii) The old coin remains in the same position on the turntable. Find the least value of the coefficient of friction between the old coin and the turntable needed to prevent the old coin from sliding.
