Question

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 vertical axis. The minimum speed of the rotor so that the person does not slip downward is

the answer is  √g/μr

Read 1 Solution.

mv2/r = R (horizontly)

f = mg (vertically)

mg = µR

mg = µ mv2/r

v = √(gr/µ ). dimension is of vel

here ans is not matching becoz u have given dimensionally incorrect optn ,check optn is not of velocity  √(g/µr) has dimensn T-1  it may be possible that in the book optn is misprinted
