Detailed Solution

When the machine rotates. the man also rotates with the wall. The contact force R between the wall and man is centripetal force. Due to this contact force R, there is frictional force µ R. The upward frictional force is balanced by weight of the man. HenceR=mv2r= mω2rand Î¼R=mgμmω2r=mg  or  Î¼=gω2r.
