    A gramophone record is revolving with an angular velocity \[\omega \]. A coin is placed at a distance r from the centre of the record. The static coefficient of friction is \[\mu \]. The coin will revolve with the record if              [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A) \[r=\mu g{{\omega }^{2}}\]

    B) \[r<\frac{{{\omega }^{2}}}{\mu g}\]

    C) \[r\le \frac{\mu g}{{{\omega }^{2}}}\]

    D) \[r\ge \frac{\mu g}{{{\omega }^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    When the disc spins the frictional force between the gramophone record and coin is \[\mu \,mg\]. The coin will revolve with record, if
                \[{{F}_{frictional}}\ge {{F}_{centripetal}}\]
                \[\mu \,mg\ge m\,{{\omega }^{2}}r\]
                \[\frac{\mu g}{r}\ge {{\omega }^{2}}\]
