What is the minimum angular velocity


An amusement park ride consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up against the wall when the floor drops away. What is the minimum angular velocity w_min needed to keep the person from slipping downward? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2, the coefficient of static friction between the person and the wall is 0.78, and the radius of the cylinder is 6.82 m. Answer in units of rad/s. Please show work.
