**Problem Statement: Centripetal Force on a Merry-Go-Round****(a)** A 15.0 kg child is riding a playground merry-go-round that is rotating at 35.0 revolutions per minute (rev/min). What centripetal force (in Newtons) must she exert to stay on if she is 3.00 meters from its center? (Enter a number.)- Answer: ______ N**(b)** What centripetal force (in Newtons) does she need to stay on an amusement park merry-go-round that rotates at 3.00 revolutions per minute (rev/min) if she is 6.00 meters from its center? (Enter a number.)- Answer: ______ N**(c)** Compare each force with her weight. (For each answer, enter a number.)- (force from (a))/(weight) = ______- (force from (b))/(weight) = ______---**Note:** This problem set involves calculating the centripetal force needed to maintain circular motion at given distances and speeds. It also asks for a comparison of these forces with the child's weight.
