Coefficient of kinetic friction between wheel and wet rag

Reference no: EM13545764

A potter's wheel having a radius 0.48 m and a moment of inertia of 10.4 kg · m2 is rotating freely at 48 rev/min. The potter can stop the wheel in 4.5 s by pressing a wet rag against the rim and exerting a radially inward force of 65 N. Find the effective coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheel and the wet rag.
