The centripetal force is $=552.7N$

The centripetal force is

$F=mv^2/r=mromega^2$

The mass is $=2kg$

The radius is $r=7m$

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

The centripetal force is

$=2*7*(2pi)^2=552.7N$

$F_c=56pi^2N$

We will first find the angular velocity :

$ω=2pif=2pi*1=2pi(rads)/s$

The centripetal force is :

$F_c=mω^2r=2*4pi^2*7=56pi^2N$
