An object with a mass of 6 kg6kg is revolving around a point at a distance of 8 m8m. If the object is making revolutions at a frequency of 4 Hz4Hz, what is the centripetal force acting on the object?

The centripetal force is =30319.4N=30319.4N

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on an object is

F=mr omega^2F=mrω2

The mass, m=6kgm=6kg

The radius, r=8mr=8m

The angularvelocity is

omega=4*2pi=8piω=42π=8π

So

The centripetal force is

F=6*8*(8pi)^2=30319.4NF=68(8π)2=30319.4N
