First, draw a diagram as it makes the problem easier to understand. Show the turntable and mass. Label the distance between the mass and the centre of the turntable r as it is a radius. write down all variables converting to SI units as it makes it simpler later on, the 100g to 0.1kg, and the 78 rev/min radians/s with this calculation w (angular velocity) = 2xPixfrequency = 2xPix(78/60) = 8.17rad/s. Then equate forces, as because the mass isn't slipping on the disk and is moving at a constant angular velocity they must be balanced. (can draw a 2nd diagram) equate the frictional force to the centripetal force F(friction) = mw^2r. looking up equations on formula sheet if you don't know them. rearrange and substitute in the values giving r = 0.5/(0.1 x 8.17^2) = 7.494x10^(-2) = 7.5x10^(-2) to 2 s.f as values in the question are given to 2s.f ie: 78, 0.50
