Question: A small mass, m , is on the rough wall of a rotating cylinder of radius r . The coefficient of static friction is .

A small mass, m, is on the rough wall of a rotating cylinder of radius r. The coefficient of static
friction is . i) Obtain the kinematics in cylindrical coordinates; ii) Draw a general the FBD of the
particle (in a random motion against the wall). iii) Write Newton's Law for the particle. iv) Obtain
the minimum angular velocity of the cylinder, , such that the particle will not slide down the
wall of the cylinder.
