A 50.0 kg child stands at the rim of a merry-go-round of radius 1.70 m, rotating with an angular speed of 2.60 rad/s. (a) What is the child's centripetal acceleration? (b) What is the minimum force between her feet and the floor of the merry-go-round that is required to keep her in the circular path? (c) What minimum coefficient of static friction is required?

In a popular amusement park ride, a rotating cylinder of radius R = 2.20 m is set in rotation at an angular speed of 6.20 rad/s, as in the figure shown below. The floor then drops away, leaving the riders suspended against the wall in a vertical position. What minimum coefficient of friction between a rider's clothing and the wall is needed to keep the rider from slipping? Hint: Recall that the magnitude of the maximum force of static friction is equal to μsn, where n is the normal force-in this case, the force causing the centripetal acceleration. (a)
