circumference = 2 pi r
= 2 pi(.2)
speed = v = distance/time
= 2 pi (.2)/36
Ac = v^2/r
F = m Ac = 37 v^2/r
= 2 pi(.2)
speed = v = distance/time
= 2 pi (.2)/36
Ac = v^2/r
F = m Ac = 37 v^2/r

Oh my, I just noticed the Bob Pursley answered an almost identical question for you.
note w^2 r = v^2/r
and READ THE CHAPTER in your text on centripetal acceleration !
