AIPMT PRELIMS 2010 Physics Centripetal Force MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

A gramophone record is revolving with an angular velocity ω. A coin is placed at a distance r from the centre of the record. The static coefficient of friction is μ. The coin will revolve with the record if

A

r ≥ μg/ω²

B

r = μgω²

C

r < ω²/μg

D

r ≤ μg/ω²

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The coin will revolve with the record if the frictional force is sufficient to provide the necessary centripetal force. This condition is satisfied when r ≤ μg/ω².
