Answer:
1. Fc = 14212.3 N = 14.21 KN
2. ac = 1579.14 m/s²
Explanation:
First, we will find the linear velocity of the ball:

where,
v = linear velocity = ?
r = radius of circle = 2.5 m
ω = angular speed = (4 rotations/s)(2π rad/1 rotation) = 8π rad/s
Therefore,

2.
Now, the centripetal acceleration can be given as:

where,
ac = centripetal acceleration = ?
Therefore,

<u>ac = 1579.14 m/s²</u>
1.
The centripetal force can be given as:

<u>Fc = 14212.3 N = 14.21 KN</u>
