A horizontal disc of radius 45 cm rotates about a vertical axis through its center. The disc makes one full revolution in 1.40 s .A particle of mass 0.054 kg is placed at a distance from the centre of the disc. The particle does not move relative to the disc. On a copy of the diagram draw arrows to represent the velocity and acceleration of the particle.

The disc makes one full revolution in 1.40 s .A particle of mass 0.054 kg is placed at a distance22 cm from the centre of the disc. The particle does not move relative to the disc. The particle is to maintain the original distance 22 cm from the center of the disc.Determine the maximum angular velocity (in radian per second) of the disc so that the particle does not move relative to the disc.The coefficient of static friction is 0.82.
