A carnival merry-go-round rotates about a vertical axis at a constant rate. A man standing on the edge has a constant speed of 3.66 m/s and a centripetal acceleration \(\vec{a}\) of magnitude 1.83 \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) . Position vector \(\vec{r}\) locates him relative to the rotation axis.

(a) What is the magnitude of \(\vec{r}\) ? What is the direction of \(\vec{r}\) when \(\vec{a}\) is directed

(b) due east and
