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 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. Calculate the frictional force on .
