5 An item of clothing is placed inside a washing machine. The drum of the washing machine has radius 30 cm and rotates, about a fixed horizontal axis, at a constant angular speed of 900 revolutions per minute.
Model the item of clothing as a particle of mass 0.8 kg and assume that the clothing travels in a vertical circle with constant angular speed.
Find the minimum magnitude of the normal reaction force exerted by the drum on the clothing and find the maximum magnitude of the normal reaction force exerted by the drum on the clothing.
