$A$ 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?

  • A
    $\mu = \frac{gR}{\omega^2}$
  • B
    $\mu = \frac{\omega^2 g}{R}$
  • C
    $\mu = \frac{\omega^2 R}{g}$
  • D
    $\mu = \frac{g}{\omega^2 R}$
