Dynamics of Circular Motion: Practice Problem & Solution

A coin placed on a rotating turntable just slips if it is placed at a distance of 4 cm from the If the angular velocity of the turntable is doubled, it will just slip at a distance of :
1 cm
2 cm
4 cm
8 cm

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Dynamics of Circular Motion. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

F= mω²r

As the distance will increase centrifugal force acting on the object will also increase. As slipping starts at 4 cm object will not slip at radius smaller than 4cm.
