A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.40 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper tuning rate of one complete revolution every 6.00 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place when it is to the right of the center of the ride, without sliding?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

r=5.40m (distance of cat from the center of disc)

T=6 s (time period of rotation of disc)

g=9.8 m/s2 (acceleration due to gravity)

μs=coefficient of static friction

For cat to stay without sliding

Centripetal force on cat must be equal to the force of static friction
