Time taken to complete on complete circle = 2.3 seconds
Radius of circle (r) = 0.85 (length of each arm)
Speed of skaters =



Speed (v) = 2.32 m/s
Let the force applied by one skater on the other be F
F(net) = centripetal force


F = 411.59 Newtons
Hence, the force applied by each skater on the other is: F = 411.59 Newtons
