A $70 \;kg$ man stands in contact against the inner wall of a hollow cylindrical drum of radius $3\; m$ rotating about its vertical axis with $200\; rev/min$. The coefficient of friction between the wall and his clothing is $0.15 .$ What is the minimum rotational speed (in $rad/s$) of the cylinder to enable the man to remain stuck to the wall (without falling) when the floor is suddenly removed?
