Explanation:
Centripetal Force is the force that keeps the object's rotation in a circular path and it's always directed towards the center of rotation. Mathematically, it is given as,
From this equation it can be concluded that the centripetal force is proportional to the product of mass and the square of velocity. It is inversely proportional to the object's distance from the center.
Now in the above mentioned case, when the cylinder begins spinning very rapidly and it's speed becomes double. Then by applying the above equation we conclude that " the force will be increased four times if the speed is doubled as it is proportional to square of speed."
We know that force equals mass times acceleration, so substitute in the known values and solve.
