The centripetal force is =179.074kN=179.074kN

Explanation:

The centripetal force is F=mromega^2F=mrω2

The mass is m=7kgm=7kg

The radius is r=8mr=8m

The frequency is f=9Hzf=9Hz

The angular velocity is omega=2pif=2pi*9=(18pi)rads^-1ω=2πf=2π9=(18π)rads1

So,

The centripetal force is

F=7*8*(18pi)^2=179074N=179.074kNF=78(18π)2=179074N=179.074kN
