An object with a mass of 12 kg is revolving around a point at a distance of 12 m. If the object is making revolutions at a frequency of 17 Hz, what is the centripetal force acting on the object?

The centripetal force is =1642934N

Explanation:

The cetripetal force is

F=(mv^2)/r=mromega^2

The mass is m=12kg

The radius is r=12m

The frequency is f=17Hz

The angular velocity is omega=2pif=2pi*17=34pirads^-1

So,

F=12*12*(34pi)^2=1642934N
