Problem
A thin homogeneous disc revolves on a flat horizontal surface around a circle with the radius R. The velocity of disk's centre is v. Find the angle α between the disc plane and the vertical. The friction between the disc and the surface is sufficiently large. You may work under the approximation where the radius of the disc is much less than R.
