The centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.The direction of the centripetal force is always in the path of the center of the course.
<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>The force needed to move a body in a curved way is understood as centripetal force. This is a force that can be sensed from both the fixed frame and the spinning body's frame of concern.
The given data in the problem is;
m is the mass of A ball = 0.25 kg
r is the radius of circle= 1.6 m rope
v is the tangential speed = 12.2 m/s
is the centripetal force acting on the ball
The centripetal force is found as;
Hence the centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.
