A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.40 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper tuning rate of one complete revolution every 6.00 5. What is the least coefcient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place when it is to the right of the center of the ride, without sliding? A child weighing 170 N sits at rest at the top of a playground slide that makes an angle of 250 with the horizontal. The child keeps from sliding by holding onto the sides of the slide. After letting go of the sides, the child has a constant acceleration of 0.70 m/s (down the slide, of course). (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide? What (b) minimum and (c) maximum values for the coefficient of static friction between the child and the slide are consistent with the information given here
