Need help with physics.
Question: A 65 kg child riding a Ferris wheel has a tangential speed of 9.5 m/s. Find the magnitude of the centripetal force on the child if the distance from the child to the axis of the wheel is 20 m.

The centripetal force : F = 293.3125 N

Further explanation

Given

mass = 65 kg

v = 9.5 m/s

r = 20 m

Required

the centripetal force

Solution

Centripetal force is a force acting on objects that move in a circle in the direction toward the center of the circle  

[tex]\large {\boxed {\bold {F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {R}}}[/tex]

F = centripetal force, N  

m = mass, Kg  

v = linear velocity, m / s  

r = radius, m  

Input the value :

F = 65 x 9.5² / 20

F = 293.3125 N
