A hollow vertical cylinder of radius $R$ is rotated with angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis through its center. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction necessary to keep the mass $M$ suspended on the inside of the cylinder as it rotates?

37-600

  • A

    $\mu = \frac{{gR}}{{{\omega ^2}}}$

  • B

    $\mu =\frac{{{\omega ^2}g}}{R}$

  • C

    $\mu = \frac{{{\omega ^2}R}}{g}$

  • D

    $\mu = \frac{g}{{{\omega ^2}R}}$
