    Answer: The centripetal force

    Explanation:

    Refer to the diagram shown below.

    T = the tension in the rope

    m = the mass of the flying pig

    v = the tangential velocity of the pig

    r = the radius of the circular motion

    F = the centripetal force

    The centripetal force is due to the centripetal acceleration of

    a = v²/r.

    Therefore the pig flies in dynamic equilibrium under the action of the three forces:

    mg, the weight of the pig

    T, the tension in the rope

    F = (mv²) / r, the centripetal force
