The drawing shows a baggage carousel at an airport. Your suitcase has not slid all the way down the slope and is going around at a constant speed on a circle ((r = 8.30 m) as the carousel turns. The coefficient of static friction between the suitcase and the carousel is 0.870, and the angle θ in the drawing is 28.9°. How much time is required for your suitcase to go around once? Assume that the static friction between the suitcase and the carousel is at its maximum.
