A 75-g mass sits 75 cm from the center of a rotating platform undergoing a uniform angular acceleration of 0.125 rad/s^2. The coefficient of static friction between the mass and the platform is 0.250.
What is the speed of the mass when it slides off?
a. 0.889 m/s
b. 1.36 m/s
c. 1.44 m/s
d. 1.58 m/s
e. It will never slide off.

Answer:

velocity of mass when it slides of will be 1.36 m/sec

So option (b) will be correct option.

Explanation:

We have given mass of the slits m = 75 gram = 0.075 kg

Radius r = 75 cm = 0.75 m

Coefficient of kinetic friction [tex]\mu =0.250[/tex]

Acceleration due to gravity [tex]g=9.8m/sec^2[/tex]

When the mass slides of

[tex]\frac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg[/tex]

[tex]v=\sqrt{\mu rg}=\sqrt{0.250\times 0.75\times 9.8}=1.36m/sec[/tex]

So velocity of mass when it slides of will be 1.36 m/sec

So option (b) will be correct option.
