A rough platform OA rotates in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis through the point O with a constant counterclockwise velocity
= 3 rad s -1 . As it passes through the position
= 0, a small mass m is placed upon it at a radial distance. If the mass is observed to slip at
= 37°, then the coefficient of friction between the mass & the member is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A

As the mass is at the verge of slipping
mg sin 37 -
mg cos 37 = m
2 r
6 - 8
= 4.5
