PHYSICS! PLEASE HELP! COEFFICIENT OF SLIDING FRICTION!?

A piece of Iron is placed on a rotating turn table at a distance of 10cm from the table, while the frequency of rotation is 80rev/minute. If the Iron slides off, calculate the coefficient of sliding friction for (i) the iron and (ii) the disc on the table (g = 10m/s2).

    That doesn't make sense. There appears to be 4 different items:

    - a piece of iron

    - a rotating turn table

    - a table

    - a disc

    and not enough information to relate them.

    Also what does '10cm from the table mean'? Should that be 10cm from the axis of something?

    You probably need to post a new question making sure it is clear/complete/self-consistent.
