If a particle is placed on a rotating turntable then the particle has a tendency to slip tangentially with respect to the underneath surface... So the friction should act tangentially to the particle... Why then does it act towards the center... Please explain with respect to inertial frame
Friction opposes relative slipping between surfaces... When the particle is initially placed on the rotating turntable... the surface under it has a tangential velocity. So, in order to oppose this slipping friction must act tangentially... How then does it act radially inward?
