I can’t see the picture you’re referring to — could you upload it?
In general, though:
- The gravitational force on the object points straight down (toward the center of the Earth). So pick the arrow that points vertically downward.
- The centripetal force always points radially inward toward the center of the circular path. So pick the arrow that points toward the center of the circle the dot is moving on.
If you upload the diagram I’ll identify the specific numbered arrows.
