Textbook Question

Chapter 6, Problem 67PQ

Problems 67. 70. 71. and 72 are grouped.

A A block of mass M is placed on a frictionless plane. The plane is inclined at an angle θ, and the block is a distance d from its end. Of course, we would expect the block to slip down the plane. Suppose we revolve the incline around the vertical axis shown in Figure P6.67 instead. At what period of revolution will the block remain in place on the plane?
