Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

Problem#2:
A boat exerts a pull of 4000 N on its hawser which is wrapped about a
capstan on the dock. If the coefficient of friction is 0.3, how many turns
