When a student stands on a rotating table, the frictional force exerted on the student by the table is

• greater in magnitude than the frictional force exerted on the table by the student

• less in magnitude than the frictional force exerted on the table by the student

• equal in magnitude than the frictional force exerted on the table by the student

• directed away from the center of the table
