The centripetal force changes by $= 68218.7 N$ $=68218.7N$

The centripetal force is

$F = m r ω^{2}$ $F=mr omega^2$

mass is $m = 12 k g$ $m=12kg$

radius $r = 9 m$ $r=9m$

$Delta omega=(9-5)*2pi=(8pi)rads^-1$

The variation in centripetal force is

$DeltaF=mr(Delta omega)^2$

$=12*9*(8pi)^2$

$=68218.7N$
