Suppose a person whose mass is m is being held up against the wall with a constant tangential velocity v greater than the minimum necessary. find the magnitude of the frictional force between the person and the wall.

Answer:

friction force must be equal to the magnitude of weight of the object

Step-by-step explanation:

When the object is stuck against the wall

then we will have


F_n = (mv^2)/(r)

also we know that


mg = F_f

so if the block is at rest and not sliding then in vertical direction the force must be balanced

so here we can say


F_g = F_f

so friction force must be equal to the magnitude of weight of the object
