A coin is placed 18.0 cm from the axis of a rotating turntable of variable speed. When the speed of the turntable is slowly increased, the coin remains fixed on the turntable until a rate of 29.0 rpm (revolutions per minute) is reached, at which point the coin slides off. - What is the coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable?

We know from studying friction forces that static friction increases with increasing normal force between the surfaces, which becomes important for vehicles traveling on icy or snowy roads that have coefficients of static friction much smaller than those of dry pavement. In particular, the greater the normal force on the drive wheels (those coupled to the engine), the better the traction. The horizontal position of the center of mass of a typical compact automobile is located 1.1 m toward the rear as measured from the front wheel axle. The wheelbase (distance from the front wheel axle to the rear wheel axle) is 2.7 m. Assume the car is stationary on level ground and has a weight of 12,000 N. Determine the total normal force on the two front tires and on the two rear tires. Which do you suppose are the drive wheels in this case?
A car of mass 1 230 kg travels along a circular road of radius 60.0 m at 18.0 m/s. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the cars centripetal acceleration. (b) What is the magnitude of the force of static friction acting on the car? (See Section 7.4.)
A car's maximum velocity speed of 4√10 m/s can turn safely on a cruved path that 40 meters radius and 0.4 coeffcient of static friction between tire and road. What must be the curved path radius if the maximum velocity speed of the car must be 10 m/s, with 0.5 as the coefficient of static friction so that the car can still turn safely without skidding out of a curved road?
On the ride "Spindletop" at the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow cylinder with radius 2.9 m and axis vertical. The cylinder started to rotate, and when it reached a constant rotation rate of 0.59 rev/s, the floor on which the people were standing dropped about 0.61 m. The people remained pinned against the wall. What minimum coefficient of static friction is required if a person on the ride is not to slide downward to the new position of the floor?
A bus’ maximum velocity speed of 410m/s can turn safely on a curved path that has 40 meters radius and 0.4 coefficient of static friction between tire and road. What must be the curved path radius if the maximum velocity speed of the bus must be 10 m/s, with 0.5 as the coefficient of static friction so that the bus can still turn safely without skidding out of a curved road?
You are sitting on the edge of a horizontal disk (for example, a playground merry-go-round) that has radius 3.00 m and is rotating at a constant rate about a vertical axis. (a) If the coefficient of static friction between you and the surface of the disk is 0.400, what is the minimum time for one revolution of the disk if you are not to slide off? (b) Your friend’s weight is half yours. If the coefficient of static friction for him is the same as for you, what is the minimum time for one revolution if he is not to slide off?

How large must the coefficient of static friction be between the tires and the road if a car is to round a level curve of radius 85m at a speed of 26.4 m/s? Assume that the tires are not slipping , but about to break free. (Answer =0.84)
An ultimate Frisbee player (body mass of 54 kg) sprints at 7.1 m/s and makes a quick turn to her right. In the stance phase during this turn, her vertical acceleration is 5.0 m/s2 and her horizontal deceleration is -2.0 m/s2. If the static coefficient of friction between her foot and the turf is 0.8, how small of a radius (m) can she have on her turn not to slip? Assume that air resistance is negligible.
