    Centripetal force a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. It is calculated by the expression:

    F = mv^2/r

    where m is the mass, v is the velocity and r is the radius.

    F = 7.26 (31.95) ^2 / (1.215) = 6100 N
