Answer: F = 3342.45 N
Explanation:
When a body moves in a circle, the centripetal force acts radially inwards. A body moves in the circumference of the circle due to inertia of motion which takes it forward and centripetal force towards the center.
The centripetal force is given by:
[tex]F = \frac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
Where, m is the mass = 95 kg
v is the speed = 12.3 m/s
and r is the radius of the circle = 4.3 m
Thus, [tex]F = \frac{95 \times 12.3^2}{4.3} = 3342.45 N[/tex]
