on the child? A child of mass 26 kg sits on a wooden horse on a carousel. The wooden horse is 3.5 m from the center of the carousel, which rotates at a constant rate and completes one revolution every 7.2 seconds.
What objects in the surroundings contribute to this horizontal net force acting on the child? (There are also vertical forces, but these cancel each other if the horse doesn't move up and down.)
The possible solutions are The Child, The Wooden Horse, or both. I've figured the rest of the problem out but I have one attempt left at this one and am not sure which it is.
Thanks.
