A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform
with diameter 0.530 m will revolve with the platform
when it is brought up to a speed of 43.0 rev/min,
provided the button is no more than 0.230 m from the
axis.
What is the coefficient of static friction between the
button and the platform?
How far from the axis can the button be placed, without
slipping, if the platform rotates at 63.0 rev/min ?
An automobile moves on a level horizontal road in a circle of radius 50 m. The coefficient of static friction between tires and road is 0.50.
(a) Calculate the maximum speed with which this car can round this curve. Now, suppose the road is covered with ice, there is no friction. Instead, the road is banked.
(b) Calculate the angle the road must be banked at in order to make the car round the curve with the same maximum speed.
A bus’ maximum velocity speed of
410m/s can turn safely on a curved path that has 40 meters radius and 0.4 coefficient of static friction between tire and road. What must be the curved path radius if the maximum velocity speed of the bus must be 10 m/s, with 0.5 as the coefficient of static friction so that the bus can still turn safely without skidding out of a curved road?
