Answer:
57.3N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
radius of the path = 3m
tangential speed = 2m/s
mass of the bicycle and child = 43kg
Unknown:
centripetal force = ?
Solution:
The centripetal force is the inward force on a body round a circular path.
It is expressed as;
F = [tex]\frac{mv^{2} }{r}[/tex]
F is the centripetal force
m is the mass
v is the tangential speed
r is the radius
F = [tex]\frac{43 x 2^{2} }{3}[/tex] = 57.3N
