Problem
#1463

Working with the dynamics of circular motion.

The first problem has to do with circular motion.

A fairground attraction called the rotor is a spinning drum with a movable floor that is dropped down as the drum speeds up. The people are held onto the wall by friction.
If the minimum friction coefficient is 0.5 what is the rotation rate required
before the floor is dropped. The radius of drum is 5.0m.
