Q.11 An inclined plane of angle  is fixed onto a horizontal turntable, with its line
of greatest slope in same plane as a diameter of turntable. A small block is
placed on the inclined plane a distance r from the axis of rotation of the
turntable, and the coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined
plane is . The turntable along with incline plane spins about its axis with
constant minimum angular velocity .

the forces that act on it.
(b) Find an expression for the minimum angular velocity, c, to prevent the block from sliding down the
plane, in terms of g, r,  and the angle of the plane .

the original block. Find ratio of friction force acting between block and incline now to the same friction
force acting in part (b).
