Answer:

The force will be "5,488". A further solution is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

speed,

v = 100m/s

mass,

m = 80 kg

acceleration,

a = 7

Now,

Radius will be:


r=(v^2)/(ac)


=((100)^2)/(7* 9.8)


=(10000)/(68.6)


=145.77

Force will be:


F=m* ac


=80* 68.6


=5488
