Question

At a given instant, the mcrry-go-round is rotating with an angular velocity o = 18 rpm, and it is slowing down at a ratc of 0.4rad/s2. When the child is 2.5 ft away from the spin axis, determine the time rate of change of the child's distance from the spin axis so that the child experiences no transverse acceleration while moving along a radial line.
