Walker, Halliday & Resnick β Motion in Two and Three Dimensions: Problem 57
57 A carnival merry-go-round rotates about a vertical axis at a constant rate. A man standing on the edge has a constant speed of 3.66 m/s and a centripetal acceleration \(\vec{a}\) of magnitude 1.83 m/sΒ². Position vector \(\vec{r}\) locates him relative to the rotation axis. (a) What is the magnitude of \(\vec{r}\)? What is the direction of \(\vec{r}\) when \(\vec{a}\) is directed (b) due east and (c) due south?
