CollegeBoard's Book

66) We are prompted to solve for the centripetal force on an object traversing a circular path. We can use this formula.

Where F is force, m is mass, v is speed, and r is radius or path

From here, the problem becomes very straightforward. We simply need to plug in the given values of mass, speed, and radius to solve for the centripetal force.

Where F is force, m is mass, r is radius, and v is speed

Answer: D
