A coin, placed on a rotating turn-table slips, when it is placed at a distance of 9 cm from the centre. If the angular velocity of the turn-table is trippled, it will just slip, if its distance from the centre is
In the given condition friction provides the required centripetal force and that is constant. i.e
mω2 r = constant
⇒ r = α 1ω2 ∴ r2 = r1 (ω1ω2)2 = 9 (13)2 = 1 cm
