A large turntable with radius 6.00 m rotates about a fixed vertical axis, making one revolution in 8.00 s. The moment of inertia of the turntable about this axis is 1200 kg⋅m². You stand, barefooted, at the rim of the turntable and very slowly walk toward the center, along a radial line painted on the surface of the turntable. Your mass is 73.0 kg. Since the radius of the turntable is large, it is a good approximation to treat yourself as a point mass. Assume that you can maintain your balance by adjusting the positions of your feet. You find that you can reach a point 3.00 m from the center of the turntable before your feet begin to slip.
What is the coefficient of static friction between the bottoms of your feet and the surface of the turntable?

Answer:

0.8024

Explanation:

From the given question; we can say that the angular momentum of the system is conserved if the net torque is  is zero.

So; [tex]I_o \omega _o = I_2 \omega_2[/tex]

At the closest distance ; the friction is :

[tex]f_s = \mu_s (mg)[/tex]

According to Newton's Law:

F = ma

F = mrω²

From conservation of momentum:

[tex]I_o \omega _o = I_2 \omega_2[/tex]

[tex]\omega_2= \frac { I_o \omega _o}{ I_2 }[/tex]

[tex]\omega_2=( \frac { I_1+ mr_o^2}{ I_1 + mr^2 })* \omega_o[/tex]

However ; since the static friction is producing the centripetal force :

[tex]\mu_s (mg) = mr \omega_2^2[/tex]

[tex]\mu _s = \frac{ \omega^2_2 *r }{g}[/tex]

The coefficient of static friction between the bottoms of your feet and the surface of the turntable can now be calculated by using the formula :

[tex]\mu _s = \frac{ \omega^2_2 *r }{g}[/tex]

=  [tex]( \frac { I_1+ mr_o^2}{ I_1 + mr^2 })^2 * \frac{ \omega^2_o *r }{g}[/tex]

= [tex][\frac{1200+(73(6)^2)}{((1200)+(73)(3)^2)} ]^2*[\frac{(\frac{\pi}{4})^2(3)} {9.8}][/tex]

= 0.8024

The friction force between the bottom of the feet and the surface of the

turntable balance the centrifugal force due to rotation.

  • The coefficient static friction is approximately 0.802

Reasons:

Radius of the turntable, r₀ = 6.00 m

The period of rotation of the turntable, T₀ = 8.00s

Moment of inertia of the turntable, [tex]I_t[/tex] = 1,200 kg·m²

Mass of the person, m = 73.0 kg

The point at which the feet starts to slip, r₁ = 3.00 m

Required:

The friction between the bottom of the feet and the surface of the turntable.

Solution:

The moment of inertia of the person and the turntable combined, J, can be

found by considering the person as a point mass.

Therefore;

At the rim, J₀ = [tex]I_t[/tex] + m·r² = 1,200 + 73×6² = 3828

J₀ = 3,828 kg·m²

At 3.00 m from the center, J₁ = [tex]I_t[/tex] + m·r² = 1,200 + 73×3² = 1,857

J₁ = 1,857 kg·m²

Angular momentum, L = J·ω

Whereby the angular momentum is conserved, we have;

L₀ = L₁

J₀·ω₀ = J₁·ω₁

[tex]\displaystyle \omega_1 = \mathbf{ \frac{J_0 \cdot \omega_0}{J_1}}[/tex]

Which gives;

To remain at equilibrium, the friction force, [tex]F_f[/tex] = The centrifugal force, [tex]F_c[/tex]

  • [tex]F_f =\mu_s \cdot W = \mu_s \cdot m \cdot g[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle F_c = \frac{m \cdot v^2}{r} = \frac{m \cdot (\omega \cdot r)^2}{r} = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2[/tex]

Where;

[tex]\mu_s[/tex] = The coefficient of static friction

g = Acceleration due to gravity which is approximately 9.81 m/s²

r = The radius of rotation

ω = The angular speed

  • [tex]F_f[/tex] = [tex]F_c[/tex]

Therefore;

  • [tex]\displaystyle F_f = \mu_s \cdot m \cdot g = \mathbf{m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2}[/tex]

Therefore, at 3.00 m from the center of the turntable, we have;

[tex]\displaystyle F_f = \mu_s \cdot m \cdot g = \mathbf{ m \cdot r_1 \cdot \omega_1^2}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\mu_s \cdot g = r_1 \cdot \omega_1^2[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle\mu_s = \frac{r_1 \cdot \omega_1^2}{g} = \mathbf{\frac{r_1 \cdot \left(\displaystyle \frac{J_0 \cdot \omega_0}{J_1}\right)^2}{g}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle\mu_s =\frac{3 \times \left(\displaystyle \frac{3,828 \times \frac{2 \cdot \pi}{8} }{1,857}\right)^2}{9.81} \approx \mathbf{0.802}[/tex]

The coefficient of static friction between the bottom of the feet and the surface of the turntable, at 3.00 m from the center, [tex]\mu_s[/tex] ≈ 0.802.
