Answer:
F = 27.22 N
Explanation:
Given that,
The length of the merry go round from center, R = 2.50 m
Tangential speed of the merry go round, v = 1.80 m/s
The mass of the dog, m = 21 Kg
The centripetal force is given by the formula,
F = mv² / R
Substituting the values in the above equation,
F = 21 Kg x (1.8 m/s)² / 2.50 m
= 27.22 N
Hence, the magnitude of the centripetal force on the dog, F = 27.22 N
