Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: The radius is 5.0 m. 

          The maximum grip force, FG is 0.01 N.

          The mass of child is 40.0 kg. 

(a) The free body diagram

The free body diagram for force and centripetal acceleration is given below

Advanced Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

The acceleration is centripetal acceleration. The direction of acceleration is towards the center of circle.
