In gravity- free space, a particle is in contact with the inner surface of a hollow vertical cylinder and moves in horizontal circular path along the surface. There is some friction between the particle and the surface. The retardation of the particle is

a
zero
b
independent of its velocity
c
proportional to its velocity
d
proportional to the square of its velocity

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Normal reaction N is the only radially inward external force acting on the particle Frictional force fk is horizontal and tangential.fk = µk.N = µk.mv2/R
