A block of mass kg is in contact against the inner wall of a hollow cylindrical drum of radius m. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inner wall of the cylinder is The minimum angular velocity needed for the cylinder to keep the block stationary when the cylinder is vertical and rotating about its axis, will be: m/s
rad/s
rad/s
rad/s
rad/s
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on the block and determine the minimum angular velocity required to keep it stationary.Given:• Mass of the block kg• Radius of the cylinder m• Coefficient of friction • Gravitational acceleration m/sWhen the cylinder rotates, the block experiences a centripetal force that provides the necessary frictional force to counteract gravity.The frictional force must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the block:The normal force is provided by the centripetal force due to rotation:Substitute into the frictional force equation:Cancel from both sides:Solve for Substitute the known values:Take the square root to find rad/sTherefore, the minimum angular velocity needed is rad/s. This corresponds to Option 3.
