On the ride "Spindletop" at the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow vertical cylinder with radius 2.76 . The cylinder started to rotate, and when it reached a constant rotation rate of 0.760 , the floor on which the people were standing dropped about 0.500 . The people remained pinned against the wall.What minimum coefficient of static friction is required if the person on the ride is not to slide downward to the new position of the floor?
