Question:
A merry-go-round has a \(5 \mathrm{~m}\) radius and rotates with a \(10 \mathrm{~s}\) period. If one "gee" is the gravitational force/mass experienced by a person standing still on the earth, how many gees are felt by a person walking from the center toward the rim of the merrygo-round at velocity \(1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in a straight line, due to the Coriolis pseudoforce? At what sideways angle is the person likely to lean while walking? How many gees are felt when the person is standing \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) from the center, due to the centrifugal pseudoforce? At what angle is the person likely to lean backwards at this point?
