Compute what minimum speed must the cylinder have

Reference no: EM13713560

Problem: In a rotor ride, which is a large hollow cylinder that is rotated rapidly around its central axis, people are rotated at a high speed. The coefficient of static friction between the rider and the wall is 0.44 and the cylinder's radius is 2.0m.

Part A: What minimum speed must the cylinder have if the rider is not to fall when the floor drops?

I want help to find what minimum speed the cylinder must have.
