Homework Statement
A bug crawls outward from the center of a CD spinning at 200 revolutions per minute. The coefficient of static friction between the bug’s sticky feet and the disc surface is 1.2. How far does the bug get from the center before slipping? What is the speed of the bug just before it starts slipping?
Homework Equations
Edited my work as I would use this in class. May post on request.
r = a / w2
The Attempt at a Solution
r = 2.6666 cm
The bug gets 2.66 cm from the center before slipping.
Q: Does the above seem right? How do I do the second part of the problem where I have to find the speed of the bug before it starts slipping?
