A potter is making a spherical vase on a potter’s wheel. The vase has a mass of 0.8 kg and a radius of 4.0 cm and the potter’s wheel has a mass of 20.0 kg and a radius of 20.0 cm. The vase is centered on the wheel. While working on the vase, the wheel and vase rotate at 1 revolution every four seconds. When finished with the vase, the potter slows the wheel (and vase) by applying a normal force at the edge of the wheel. If she brings the wheel to a complete stop in 30 s and the coefficient of friction between her hands and the wheel is 0.45, what is the magnitude of the normal force between each hand and the wheel.
