- A crate of eggs is located in the middle of the flat bed of a pickup truck as the truck negotiates a curve in the flat road. The curve may be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 33.8 m. If the coefficient of static friction between crate and truck is 0.610, how fast can the truck be moving without the crate sliding?

The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a coefficient of static coefficient of friction against steel in the range of 0.690 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.480 to 0.70. A sign next to the entrance says "No children under 30 kg allowed." What is the minimum angular speed in rpm (do not enter units) for which the ride is safe?
