Answer to Problem 100A
The centripetal force is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the bug,
The diameter of the disk,
The velocity of the bug on the disk,
Formula used:
The centripetal force acting on an object of mass m, moving at a velocity of v in an orbit of radius r, is given by,
Calculation:
Using the given values in above formula, the centripetal force acting on the bug will be,
This above force is provided by the friction force between the bug and the disk.
Conclusion:
Hence, the centripetal force acting on the bug is
