Maximum Static Friction Force for Spinning Disk and Block System

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem involving a penny and a block on a spinning disk, with coefficients of friction given. The question asks for the maximum rate of rotation without any sliding occurring. The solution involves considering the maximum force of static friction on each object.

Homework Statement


A penny of mass 3.10g rests on a small 20.0g block supported by a spinning disk. The coefficients of friciton between block and disk are .750(static) and 0.640(kinetic) while those for the penny and block are 0.520(static) and .450(kinetic). What is the maximum rate of rotation in revolutions per minute that the dsk can have, without the block or penny sliding on the disk?

What is dynamics in a circle?

Dynamics in a circle refers to the study of the forces and movements involved when an object moves in a circular path.

What are the main types of dynamics in a circle?

The main types of dynamics in a circle are centripetal force, centrifugal force, and tangential acceleration.

What is centripetal force?

Centripetal force is the force that pulls an object towards the center of a circle, keeping it in its circular path. It is always directed towards the center of the circle.

What is centrifugal force?

Centrifugal force is the perceived outward force that appears to push an object away from the center of a circle as it moves in a circular path. However, this is actually just an apparent force and does not actually exist.

How is tangential acceleration related to dynamics in a circle?

Tangential acceleration is the change in an object's linear velocity as it moves in a circular path. It is related to dynamics in a circle as it is one of the components that determines the overall movement and forces involved in circular motion.
