$A$ hollow vertical cylinder of radius $R$ is rotated with angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis through its center. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction necessary to keep the mass $M$ suspended on the inside of the cylinder as it rotates?

  • A
    $\mu = \frac{gR}{\omega^2}$
  • B
    $\mu = \frac{\omega^2 g}{R}$
  • C
    $\mu = \frac{\omega^2 R}{g}$
  • D
    $\mu = \frac{g}{\omega^2 R}$

$A$ car is moving on a circular track banked at an angle of $45^{\circ}$. If the maximum permissible speed of the car to avoid slipping is twice the optimum speed of the car to avoid the wear and tear of the tyres, then the coefficient of static friction between the wheels of the car and the road is

Find the maximum velocity for skidding for a car moved on a circular track of radius $100 \, m$. The coefficient of friction between the road and tyre is $0.2$.

The coefficient of static friction between the road and tyres of a car is $0.4$. The maximum permissible speed of the car is $10 \,ms^{-1}$ on a curved unbanked road. Then the maximum radius of curvature of the road is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$)
