A ceiling fan has a diameter (of the circle through the outer edges of the three blades) of 120 cm and rpm 1500 at full speed. Consider a particle of mass 1 g sticking at the outer end of a blade.

(a) How much force does it experience when the fan runs at full speed?

(b) Who exerts this force on the particle?
(c) How much force does the particle exert on the blade along its surface?

A block of mass m is kept on a horizontal ruler. The friction coefficient between the ruler and the block is μ. The ruler is fixed at one end and the block is at a distance L 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 α, at what angular speed will the block slip?

A circular table with the smooth horizontal surface is rotating at an angular speed ω about its axis. A groove is made on the surface along a radius, and a small particle is gently placed inside the groove at a distance l from the center. Find the speed of the particle with respect to the table as its distance from the center becomes L.
