Question

A 9.37 kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume that the radial distance between the branch and the point where the monkey's mass is located to be 86.8 cm. As it swings through the lowest point on the circle, the monkey has a speed of 2.90 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey.
