Q2. As shown in Fig. 2, the person A is standing on the merry-go-round (i.e. not moving relative to it), which is rotating at the constant rate wm, and the person B is walking in a straight line at constant speed v along the sidewalk in a stationary frame. Determine (a) the velocity, (b) acceleration of B as seen by A and (c) Coriolis component of acceleration. Evaluate the results for VB = 6.5 km/h, wm = 3.5 rad/s, 0 = 45°, d = 9.5 m, and h = 3.5 m. Note that person A cannot turn his or her head to follow B as the merry-go-round rotates, or else we will have introduced yet another rotation. Draw appropriate free body diagrams and reference system to clearly illustrate your logical solution steps. Wm Ao re d merry-go-round B UB Q2.
