$A$ $70 \; kg$ man stands in contact against the inner wall of a hollow cylindrical drum of radius $3 \; m$ rotating about its vertical axis. The coefficient of friction between the wall and his clothing is $0.15$. What is the minimum rotational speed (in $rad/s$) of the cylinder to enable the man to remain stuck to the wall (without falling) when the floor is suddenly removed? (Take $g = 10 \; m/s^2$)

  • A

  • B
    $2.63$
  • C
