Question
A 55-kg child sits on a 1.1-m radius playground merry-go-round without holding on to the rails. a. Someone pushes tangentially, resulting in a torque of 356 N m. How fast is the merry-go round moving (in m/s)?
- If the child begins to slip off the merry-go-round at this speed, what is the coefficient of friction between the child and the surface?
