    Quick Facts

    • 4 Questions around this concept.

    Solve by difficulty

    A block of mass $m$ is placed on a rotating platform at a distance r from the axis of rotation. What should be the maximum angular velocity to avoid skidding of the block [ take $\mu=$ the coefficient between the block and rotating platform]

     

    A block of mass m is kept on the edge of the horizontal turn table of radius R 

    Turn table is rotating with constant angular velocity w . coefficient of friction is \mu . If the block is

    just about to move find angular velocity w of the turn table

    Skidding of object on a Rotating Platform

    Centrifugal force $\leq$ Force of friction
    $m \omega^2 r \leq \mu m g$
    $\therefore \omega_{\max }=\sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{r}}=$ lt is the maximum angular velocity of rotation of the platform, so that object will not skid on it.
    $\omega=$ Angular velocity
    $r=$ radius
    $\mu=$ coefficient of friction
