Level Road & Rotating Platform

A coin placed on a rotating table just slips when it is placed at a distance of 1 cm1\text{ cm} from the center. If the angular velocity of the table is halved, it will just slip when placed at a distance of _________ from the centre:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Just slipping: mω2r=μmgm\omega^2 r = \mu m g, so ω2r\omega^2 r is constant.
  2. r′=r(ωω/2)2=4r=4×1r' = r\left(\frac{\omega}{\omega/2}\right)^2 = 4r = 4 \times 1 cm
  3. So the answer is (c) 4 cm.
