A bead of mass m is threaded on a metal hoop of radius R. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction µk between the bead and the hoop. It is given a push to start it sliding around the hoop with initial speed v0 . The hoop is located on the space station, so you can ignore gravity
Find the normal force exerted by the hoop on the bead as a function of its speed.
Not sure how to set this one up. I have a FBD with just normal force pointed towards the center of the ring, and the force of friction opposing the motion around the ring, and have confirmed that these are the only two forces acting on the bead.
