A suitcase on a baggage carousel is spinning around at an unknown velocity. The carousel has an angle of 36 degrees above horizontal. The suitcase is held in place by static friction with a coefficient of 0.760. Find the velocity.
Eqn's
Fn = mg | Fsmax = µsmg | Fc = mV²/r
I get as far as this, and I am stuck as to what to do next.
I need to find Fc
ΣFx = -Fn cos54 + Fs cos36 = mV²/r
ΣFy = Fn sin 54 + Fs sin36 - mg = 0
Where do I go next? My prof tried to explain it to me but it didn't click, I am a step-by-step learner! Thanks all.
