A cockroach crawls with constant speed in a circular path of radius b on a phonograph turntable rotating with constant angular speed ω. The circular path is concentric with the center of the turntable. If the mass of the insect is m and die coefficient of static friction with die surface of the turntable is μs, how fast, relative to the turntable, can die cockroach crawl before it starts to slip if it goes (a) in the direction of rotation and (b) opposite to the direction of rotation?
