A block of mass $m$ is kept on a horizontal ruler. The friction coefficient between the ruler and the block is $\mathrm{g}$. The ruler is fixed at one end and the block is at a distance $\mathrm{L}$ from the fixed end. The ruler is rotated about the fixed end in the horizontal plane through the fixed end. (a) What can the maximum angular speed be for which the block does not slip? (b) If the angular speed of the ruler is uniformly increased from zero at an angular acceleration a, at what angular speed will the block slip?
(a)
For block not to slip
ff $\geq \mathrm{mL} \omega^{2}$
$\mu \mathrm{N} \geq \mathrm{mL} \omega^{2}$
$\mu \mathrm{mg} \geq \mathrm{mL} \omega^{2}$
$\omega^{2} \leq \frac{\mu g}{L}$
$\omega_{\max }=\sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{L}}$
(b)
Now, ruler makes uniformly accelerated circular motion at angular acceleration of $\alpha, \mathbf{s o}$ tangential
acceleration
$\mathbf{A}_{\mathrm{t}}=\mathrm{L} \alpha$
$F_{t}=m a_{t}$
$F_{t}=m L a$
$F_{t}=m L \alpha$
Radial force $F_{c}=m L \omega^{\prime 2}$
Where $\omega^{\prime}$ is maximum angular speed at which it slips
$\mu \mathrm{N}=\sqrt{\left(F_{c}^{2}+F_{t}^{2}\right)}$
$\mu \mathrm{mg}=\sqrt{\left.\left\{m L w^{\prime}\right)^{2}+\left\{m L \alpha^{\prime}\right)^{2}\right\}}$
squaring and solving,
$\omega=\left[\left(\frac{u g}{L}\right)^{2} \cdot \alpha^{2}\right]^{1 / 4}$
