Question

A record turntable is rotating at 33 1/3. revolutions per minute (rpm). A watermelon seed is on the turntable, 10 cm from the axis of rotation. (a) First draw a clean, accurate Free Body Diagram of the watermelon seed. Label all your vectors with appropriate letters. Do not use F as a label. (b) Set up the centripetal force equation but do not solve: sigma F^vector_r = (c) Now calculate the acceleration of the seed, assuming it does not slip. (d) What is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the turntable if the seed is not to slip? Use g = 10 m/s^2

Explanation / Answer

Dear student

First four lines of this question is not visible clearly i.e. question and their part (a) so kindly write it in comment box .I will answer it with detailed explanations positively.

Thanks
