Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the rider, m = 60 kg
Let the radius of the circle, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m
Let the velocity, v = 20 m/s
We need to find the centripetal force needed to keep the rider in a circular path. It can be given by :
[tex]F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F=\dfrac{60\times (20)^2}{0.3}\\\\F=80000\\\\\text{or}\\\\F=8\times 10^4\ N[/tex]
So, the required force is [tex]8\times 10^4\ N[/tex].
