From any Physics textbook, 

    the centripetal acceleration  a = v%5E2%2Fr = 50%5E2%2F2  m/s^2.

    To get the number, use your calculator.




    The corresponding centripetal force = m*a.


    Substitute the values to get the number.


If you have no Physics textbook on your table or on your book-shelve, you may look into this Wikipedia article
