Homework Statement
A hemispherical Bowl of mass M rests on a table. The inside surface of the bown is frictionless, while the coefficient of friction between the bottom of the bowl and the table is u = 1. A particle of mass m is released from rest at the top of the bowl and slides down into it, as shown in Fig. 5.38. What is the largest value of m/M for which the bowl never slides on the table? Hint: the angle you're concerned with is not 45.
