For this case what we must do is calculate the centripetal force of the object.
By definition, the centripetal force is given by:
\(F = m(\frac{v^2}{r})
\)
Where,
v: tangential speed
r: radius of the circular path
m: mass of the object
Substituting values we have:
\(F = 0.25 * (\frac{12.2 ^ 2}{1.6})
F = 23.26
\)
Answer:
The centripetal force of the ball is given by:
\(F = 23.26 N\)
