Physics Question from JEE Main 2026 · 21 January, Shift 2

A large drum having radius RR is spinning around its axis with angular velocity ω\omega, as shown in figure. The minimum value of ω\omega so that a body of mass MM remains stuck to the inner wall of the drum, taking the coefficient of friction between the drum surface and mass MM as μ\mu, is :

A vertical cylindrical drum of radius R rotates about its central vertical axis with angular velocity omega, and a block of mass M is shown pressed against the inner wall.
  • A

    μgR\sqrt{\frac{\mu g}{R}}

  • B

    gμR\sqrt{\frac{g}{\mu R}}

  • C

    2gμR\sqrt{\frac{2g}{\mu R}}

  • D

    g2μR\sqrt{\frac{g}{2\mu R}}
