Important Questions on Circular Motion
What will be the maximum speed of a car on a road-turn of radius if the coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is (Take )

Two blocks of mass and connected to each other by a massless inextensible string of length are placed along a diameter of a turn table. The coefficient of friction between the table and is while there is no friction between and the table. The table is rotating with an angular velocity of rad about a vertical axis passing through its centre . The masses are placed along the diameter of the table on either side of the centre such that the mass is at a distance of from . The masses are observed to be at rest with respect to an observer on the turn table.
What should be the minimum angular speed of the turn table so that the masses will slip from this position?
