A long helix is made of a thin metal wire. The axis of the helix is vertical. The radius of the loops of the helix is r; and the distance between the adjacent loops is d. A small bead begins to slide down the helix. Eventually, the bead reaches a constant speed v. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction k between the bead and the helix.

Dear student,
Loss in potential energy per helix = Work done by friction
mgd = fk m v2/r
Get fk from the above equation.
Good luck in your studies and study hard and achieve heights of success.
Thanks.
