Question

A girl having a mass of 25 kg sits at the edge of a merry-go-round, so her center
of mass G is at a distance of 1.5 m from the axis of rotation. The coefficient of static friction
between her denim jeans and the merry-go-round surface is 0.30. If her frenemy begins to apply a
tangential acceleration of 0.5 m/s2 at t = 0 s, then at what time in s will the girl be hurled off the
merry-go-round? What is the magnitude of the acceleration at this same moment in time,
attributable only to the circular motion?
