    As shown in the figure, a person of mass ' $m$ ' remains stuck to the wall of rotating rotor. What should be the minimum value of angular velocity $\omega$ [coefficient of friction between wall and man is $\mu_{\text {] }}$

     

    A man is rest against the inner wall of a rotor which is moving with angular velocity \omega. If the radius of the rotor is 2m and the coefficient of static friction between wall and the person is 0.2 . Find minimum angular velocity (in rad/sec)  for man to be at rest. (g= 10m/s2)

    A person stands in contact against the inner wall of a rotor of radius r. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the clothing is μ and the rotor is rotating about a vertical axis. What is the minimum angular speed of the rotor so that the person does not slip downward?
