The figure above is taken from one of the Webassign HW problems which shows a person held up against a wall of a circularly movi ride in which the floor drops away. The radius of the spinning chamber is 3m and the coefficient of static friction between the pers and the wall is 0.3. What should be the minimum rotation speed (in RPM) if the person is not to slip? (Round your answer to one decim place)
