Question

An amusement park ride spins its rider in a circle with a radius of 2.0 m.  Determine the minimum frequency of rotation of the circle that would keep the rider from falling if the friction coefficient between the rider and the wall is 0.68.  Express your answer in units of Hz (cycles per second).  Use g=10 N/kg.  Hint:  The required friction force is the weight of the person.  The normal force of the wall on the rider causes the friction.
