    A gramophone record is revolving with an angular velocity \[\omega .\] A coin is placed at a distance r from the centre of the record. The static coefficient of friction is \[\mu .\] The coin will revolve with the record if

    A) \[r=\mu g{{\omega }^{2}}\]

    B)  \[r<\frac{{{\omega }^{2}}}{\mu g}\]

    C)  \[r\le \frac{\mu g}{{{\omega }^{2}}}\]

    D)  \[r\ge \frac{\mu g}{{{\omega }^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     When the disc spins the frictional force between the gramophone record and coin is \[\mu \,mg.\] The coin will revolve with record, if \[{{F}_{frictional}}\ge {{F}_{centripetal}}\] \[\mu \,mg\ge m{{\omega }^{2}}r\] \[\frac{\mu g}{r}\ge {{\omega }^{2}}\]
