Question
A 27 kg child is riding a playground merry-go-round that is rotating at 42.8rev / m * in
Part a what net force is acting on her is she is standing on the merry go round 1.5 m from its center in newtons ? The net force in this situation called centripetal force
Part b what the net force (in N) is acting on her is standing on an amusement park merry go round that rotates at 2.8 rpm and she is 8.8 m from it center ?
Part c: how many times her weight is the for s in part a?
Part d how many times her weight is the force in part b?
