Fly and TurnTable

A fly sits on a rotating turntable. The turntable starts at rest and slowing increases (rotational) speed until the fly flies off.  The fly is a distance 0.47 m from the center of the turntable.  The fly slides off of the turntable when the turntable is rotating at 0.62 revolutions/second.  What is the coefficient of static friction between the fly and the turntable?
