Important Questions on Circular Motion
A block of mass is kept on a horizontal ruler. The friction coefficient between the ruler and the block is . The ruler is fixed at one end and the block is at a distance from the fixed end. The ruler is rotated about the fixed end in the horizontal plane through the fixed end.
(a) What can be the maximum angular speed for which the block does not slip?
(b) If the angular speed of the ruler is uniformly increased from zero at an angular acceleration , at what angular speed will the block slip?



There are two blocks of masses and is placed on on a table which is rotating with an angular velocity about the vertical axis. The coefficient of friction between the blocks is and between and table is . If the blocks are placed at a distance from the axis of rotation for relative sliding between the surfaces in contact, find the,
(a) frictional force at the contacting surface
(b) maximum angular speed .

A block of mass connected with another block of mass by a light spring of natural length and stiffness is kept stationary on a rough horizontal surface.
