A block of mass \(2 ~\text{kg}\) is placed on a horizontal disc that rotates with a constant angular velocity of \(4 ~\text{rad/s}.\) The block is located at a distance of \(1~\text{m}\) from the axis of rotation. If the block does not slip relative to the disc, what is the frictional force acting on the block?
