A coin of mass m and rotates on a circular platform of radius r at the fastest speed possible without the coin sliding off. In this case, the coin makes each revolution in 4.5 seconds (its period). The coin and platform have a coefficient of friction,μ, that is unchanged. If the radius of the table is increased by a factor of 3 , what would be the new period? Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

Question

A coin of mass m and rotates on a circular platform of radius r at the fastest speed possible without the coin sliding off.  In this case, the coin makes each revolution in 4.5 seconds (its period).  The coin and platform have a coefficient of friction,μ, that is unchanged.  

If the radius of the table is increased by a factor of 3 , what would be the new period?

Give your answer to 1 decimal place.
