Please answer vertically, not horizontally so that no steps are miscalculated for this problem.

A unicorn is standing on a rotating platform so that it can be admired from every angle. The platform is 5 m in radius and rotates every 8 seconds (otherwise known as 1/8 of a rotation per second).

What coefficient of friction must the unicorn's hooves have to keep him from slipping over the edge? This answer is not shown correctly on bartleby.

Would he need a higher or lower coefficient of friction to stand closer to the center of the rotating platform? Explain.
