Respuesta :

Net centripetal force is given by the product of mass and centripetal acceleration

Here we know that

mass (m) = 20 kg

speed (v) = 10 m/s

radius (R) = 15 m

So here we can say that centripetal acceleration is given as

[tex]a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}[/tex]

[tex]a_c = \frac{10^2}{15}[/tex]

[tex]a_c = 6.67 m/s^2[/tex]

now from the formula of force

[tex]F = ma[/tex]

[tex]F = 20 * 6.67 = 133.4 N[/tex]

so correct answer would be 133 N
