The rotor is an amusement park ride where people stand against the inside of a cylinder. Once the cylinder is spinning fast enough, the floor drops out. The cylinder has a radius of 3.3 m. If the cylinder is to have a frequency of 0.50 Hz, what should be the minimum coefficient of friction, such that the people don't fall out?
