Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the force providing circular motion

A coin placed on a rotating disc moves in a circle of radius rrr with the disc, provided it does not slip.

For circular motion, the required centripetal force is Fc=mrω2F_c = m r \omega^2Fc​=mrω2 where mmm is the mass of the coin and ω\omegaω is the angular velocity.

  1. Source of centripetal force

The only horizontal force acting on the coin is friction.

So, static friction must provide the required centripetal force: f=mrω2f = m r \omega^2f=mrω2

  1. Maximum available static friction

The maximum static friction is fmax⁡=μNf_{\max} = \mu Nfmax​=μN Since the disc is horizontal, N=mgN = mgN=mg Therefore, fmax⁡=μmgf_{\max} = \mu mgfmax​=μmg

  1. Condition for no slipping

For the coin not to slip, mrω2≤μmgm r \omega^2 \le \mu mgmrω2≤μmg Cancel mmm from both sides: rω2≤μgr \omega^2 \le \mu grω2≤μg

So the maximum angular velocity is obtained when equality holds: rωmax⁡2=μgr \omega_{\max}^2 = \mu grωmax2​=μg

Hence, ωmax⁡=μgr\omega_{\max} = \sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{r}}ωmax​=rμg​​

  1. Match with options

This corresponds to: B: μgr\boxed{\text{B: } \sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{r}}}B: rμg​​​

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: B

Our derived answer: B

So, the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
