Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 7P
What is the difference in the orbital velocities of the two shepherd satellites of Uranus, Cordelia and Ophelia, which have orbital radii of 49,800 km and 53,800 km, respectively? (Hint: Use the formula for circular velocity, Eq. 5-1a. The formula requires input quantities in kg and m.)

Students have asked these similar questions
Students are asked to use circular motion to measure the
coefficient of static friction between two materials. They
have a round turntable with a surface made from one of
the materials, for which they can vary the speed of rotation.
They also have a small block of mass m made from the sec-
ond material. A rough sketch of the apparatus is shown in
the figure below. Additionally they have equipment normally
found in a physics classroom.

(a) Briefly describe a procedure that would allow you
to use this apparatus to calculate the coefficient of
static friction, u.
(b) Based on your procedure, determine how to
analyze the data collected to calculate the
coefficient of friction.
