Question

An object with a mass of `6 kg` is revolving around a point at a distance of `2 m`. If the object is making revolutions at a frequency of `6 Hz`, what is the centripetal force acting on the object?

Answer 1

`17.05kN`

Explanation:

Centripetal force, directed towards the centre of the circle, is given by

`F=(mv^2)/r`

`=(6xx(6xx2pi2)^2)/2`

`=17.05kN`
