Physics question please give answer and explanation?

A 50.0 kg child stands at the rim of a merry-go-round of radius 1.65 m, rotating with an angular speed of 2.75 rad/s.


(a) What is the child's centripetal acceleration?


____ m/s2





(b) What is the minimum force between her feet and the floor of the carousel that is required to keep her in the circular path?


____N





(c) What minimum coefficient of static friction is required?

Physics question please give answer and explanation?
a.


a(c)= r(omega)²


=1.65(2.75²)


=12.48 m/s²





b.


F(c) = mv²/r


=50(12.48)


=623.9 N
