Answer:
224.6 N
Explanation:
We can use first the formula to calculate the centripetal acceleration, given by:
[tex]a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{R}[/tex]
where the Vt is the tangential velocity, and R is the radius of the circular motion.
Then, for our case we have:
[tex]a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{R}=\frac{3.5^2}{0.6}\approx 20.42\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
And now we multiply this acceleration by Miguel's mass (11 kg) to obtain the centripetal force acting on him:
[tex]F_c=11 \,*\,20.42\,N = 224.6\,\,N[/tex]
