Incomplete question.The complete question is here

What is the magnitude of the force needed to hold the outer 2 cm of the blade to the inner portion of the blade? The outer edge of the blade is 21 cm from the center of the blade, and the mass of the outer portion is 7.7 g. Even though the blade is 21cm long, the last 2cm should be treated as if they were at a point 20cm from the center of rotation.

Answer:

F= 0.034 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Outer=2 cm

Edge of blade=21 cm

Mass=7.7 g

Length of blade=21 cm

The last 2cm is treated as if they were at a point 20cm from the center of rotation

To Find

Force=?

Solution

Convert the given frequency to angular frequency

ω = 45 rpm * (2*pi rad / 1 rev) * (1 min / 60 s)

ω= 3/2*π rad/sec

Now to find centripetal force.

F = m×v²/r

F= m×ω²×r

Put the data

F = 0.0077 kg × (3/2×π rad/sec )²× 0.20 m

F= 0.034 N
