$A$ boy is sitting on the horizontal platform of a joy wheel at a distance of $5 \, m$ from the center. The wheel begins to rotate and when the angular speed exceeds $1 \, rad/s$,the boy just slips. Find the coefficient of friction between the boy and the wheel. (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $0.32$
  • C
    $0.71$
  • D
    $0.2$
