$A$ $70 \; kg$ man stands in contact against the inner wall of a hollow cylindrical drum of radius $3 \; m$ rotating about its vertical axis. The coefficient of friction between the wall and his clothing is $0.15$. What is the minimum rotational speed (in $rad/s$) of the cylinder to enable the man to remain stuck to the wall (without falling) when the floor is suddenly removed? (Take $g = 10 \; m/s^2$)

  • A

  • B
    $2.63$
  • C

$A$ small object placed on a rotating horizontal turntable just slips when it is placed at a distance $4\, cm$ from the axis of rotation. If the angular velocity of the turntable is doubled,the object slips when its distance from the axis of rotation is (in $, cm$)

$A$ car of mass $1500 \ kg$ is moving with a speed of $12.5 \ m/s$ on a circular path of radius $20 \ m$ on a level road. What should be the coefficient of friction between the car and the road,so that the car does not slip?

$A$ curve on a level road has a radius of $75 \, m$. The maximum speed of a car turning this curved road can be $30 \, m/s$ without skidding. If the radius of the curved road is changed to $48 \, m$ and the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road remains the same,then the maximum allowed speed would be ......... $m/s$.

$A$ large drum having radius $R$ is spinning around its axis with angular velocity $\omega$, as shown in the figure.
