Transcribed Image Text:A girl having a mass of 25 kg sits at the edge of the merry-go-round so her center of mass
G is at a distance of 1.5 m from the axis of rotation. If the angular motion of the platform
is slowly increased so that the girl's tangential component of acceleration can be
neglected, determine the maximum speed which she can have before she begins to slip
off the merry-go-round. The coefficient of static friction between the girl and the merry-
go-round is us = 0.3.
1.5 m
