[QUE/ME-08007] ME-PROBLEM

Consider a merry go round which, as viewed from an inertial frame, is rotating anticlockwise with angular velocity \(\omega\), see \Figref{me-fig-08003}(a). An observer \(O_m\) sitting on the merry go round observes a body \(B\) at rest in the inertial frame.

• Set up the equations of motion for the body describing its motion in the rotating frame, {\it i.e.} in the frame of the observer \(O_m\).
• Argue that the equations of motion written in part(a), imply the motion of the body as seen from the rotating frame, {\it i.e.} it goes round in a clockwise circle with angular velocity \(\omega\),(b).%FigBelow{25,0}{70}{45}{me-fig-08003}
