Problem F13-7

FI3-7. The block rests at a distance of 2 m from the center of the platform. If the coefficient of static friction between the block and the platform is . determine the maximum speed which the block can attain before it begins to slip. Assume the angular motion of the disk is slowly increasing.

                                                             Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 3

The frictional force has a magnitude  and a sense of direction that points towards the center of the platform.In the positive n-direction, as shown in the figure 1.
