Circular motion in horizontal plane
Question

A body moves along a circular path of radius 5m. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the path and body is 0.5. The maximum angular velocity in radian s–1 with which the body should move so that it does not leave the path is (g=10ms–2)

Moderate
Solution

\omega = \sqrt {\frac{{\mu g}}{r}} = \sqrt {\frac{{0.5 \times 10}}{5}} rad/\sec
\omega = \sqrt 1 = 1\;rad/\sec
