Answer:
- 278.34 kg m/s^2
Explanation:
The rate of the change of momentum is the same as the force.
The force that an object feels when moviming in a circular motion is given by:
F = -mrω^2
Where ω is the angular speed and r is the radius of the circumference
Aditionally, the tangential velocity of the body is given as:
v = rω
The question tells us that
v = 25 m/s
r = 7m
mv = 78 kg m/s
Therefore:
m = (78 kg m/s) / (25 m/s) = 3.12 kg
ω = (25 m/s) / (7 m) = 3.57 (1/s)
Now, we can calculate the force or rate of change of momentum:
F = - (3.12 kg) (7 m)(3.57 (1/s))^2
F = - 278.34 kg m/s^2
