Question

An object with a mass of `12 kg` is revolving around a point at a distance of `12 m`. If the object is making revolutions at a frequency of `17 Hz`, what is the centripetal force acting on the object?

Answer 1

The centripetal force is `=1642934N`

Explanation:

The cetripetal force is

`F=(mv^2)/r=mromega^2`

The mass is `m=12kg`

The radius is `r=12m`

The frequency is `f=17Hz`

The angular velocity is `omega=2pif=2pi*17=34pirads^-1`

So,

`F=12*12*(34pi)^2=1642934N`
