Answer:
1. Fc = 14212.3 N = 14.21 KN
2. ac = 1579.14 m/s²
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will find the linear velocity of the ball:
![v = r\omega](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/physics/college/z4k97b6ncllxvofq6pi8qv53rzrl3kid66.png)
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,
![v = (2.5\ m)(8\pi\ rad/s)\\v = 62.83\ m/s\\](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/physics/high-school/hko8k4fnkbj8uhu25bg5r373m8cbyyl1mq.png)
2.
Now, the centripetal acceleration can be given as:
![a_(c) = (v^2)/(r)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/physics/high-school/nhetl49nqtn7lanj8exfu89rxmx9o6jkzo.png)
where,
ac = centripetal acceleration = ?
Therefore,
![a_(c) = ((62.83\ m/s)^2)/(2.5\ m)](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/physics/high-school/gs3v77d1z3i2fvi8sh6xm9i8a9a1hhkjov.png)
ac = 1579.14 m/s²
1.
The centripetal force can be given as:
![F_(c) = ma_(c)\\F_(c) = (9\ kg)(1579.14\ m/s^2)\\](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/physics/high-school/7z6qiowyc82g19zskzmzsmk317uubawq6i.png)
Fc = 14212.3 N = 14.21 KN
