A disc revolves with a speed of rev /min, and has a radius of 15 cm. Two coins are placed at 4 cm and 14 cm away from the centre of the record. If the co-efficient of friction between the coins and the records is 0.15, which of the coins will revolve with the record?
Solution:
The coin revolves with the record in the case when the force of friction is enough to provide the necessary centripetal force. If this force is not sufficient to provide centripetal force, the coin slips on the record.Now, the frictional force mR where R is the normal reaction, and Hence force of friction = mmg and centripetal force required is or are same for both the coins and we have different values of r for the two coins. So to prevent slipping i.e. causing coins to rotate or ...(i)For 1 coin and as , therefore this coin will revolve with record.For 2 coin and Here, is not satisfied, so this coin will not revolve with record.Note : We have nothing to do with the radius of the record (= 15 cm).
