Question

The drawing shows a baggage carousel at an airport. Your suitcase has not slid all the way down the slope and is going around at a constant speed on a circle of radius (6258  cm) as the carousel turns. The coefficient of static friction between the suitcase and the carousel is 0.8, and the angle θ in the drawing is 37°. How much time (in second) is required for your suitcase to go around once? (Assume limiting friction)  (Take π2 = g)

f cos θ – N sin θ = mω2
f sin θ + N cos θ = mg
for limiting condtion f = μN                
⇒ ω2rg = μcosθsinθcosθ+μsinθ = 0.26.4
⇒  T = 10 s
