Use the formula for the centripetal force

                F = %28m%2AV%5E2%29%2FR,

which you can find in  EACH  Physics textbook.

Here  " m "  is the mass,  V  is the linear speed and  R  is the radius of the wheel.

Having mass in kilograms, velocity in m/s, and radius of the wheel in meters,
you will get the force in the formula in newtons.

So,  substitute the values into the formula and calculate.


Remember that making calculations is the students'  honor duty and a privilege.
