Figure P9.75 shows a 100 g puck revolving at 100 rpm on a 20-cm-radius circle on a frictionless table. A string attached to the puck passes through a hole in the middle of the table. The end of the string below the table is then slowly pulled down until the puck is revolving in a 10-cm-radius circle. How many revolutions per minute does the puck make at this new radius?
Q. A large vertical cylinder spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up
against the wall when drops away from the floor. The coefficient of static friction between
person and the wall is u, = 0.35, and the radius of cylinder r = 2m. What is the maximum
(linear) speed necessary to keep person from falling? (g = 9.80)

Two bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk
is 0.80 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 38 rpm. The coefficient of friction between the bugs and the disk are us = 0.80 and uk = 0.60. What is the magnitude
of the friction force on Buzz, in Newtons? Buzz has a mass of 2.0 kg (I know, a big bug!).
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your
answer, it is already given in the question statement.
