Jesse is swinging miguel in a circle at a tangential speed of 3.50 m/s. if the radius of the circle is 0.600 m and miguel has a mass of 11.0 kg, what is the centripetal force on miguel? round to the nearest whole number.

Centripetal acceleration = (speed)² / (radius) .

Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

Centripetal force = (mass) · (speed)² / (radius) .

                             = (11 kg) · (3.5 m/s)² / (0.6 m)

                             = (11 kg) · (12.25 m²/s²) / (0.6 m)

                             =  (11 · 12.25) / 0.6  kg-m/s²

                             =      224.58 newtons.    (about 50.5 pounds)

That's the tension in Miguel's arm or leg or whatever part of his body
Jesse is swinging him by.  It's the centripetal force that's needed in
order to swing 11 kg in a circle with a radius of 0.6 meter, at 3.5
meters/second.  If the force is less than that, then the mass has to
either swing slower or else move out to follow a bigger circle.
