w (rad/sec)=2PI/12.5 rad/sec
centripetal force=m w^28r=m*(2PI/1.25)^2*30
real weight=mg
apparent weight at top=realweight-centripetal force
apparent weight at bottom=real weight+centripetal force
centripetal force=m w^28r=m*(2PI/1.25)^2*30
real weight=mg
apparent weight at top=realweight-centripetal force
apparent weight at bottom=real weight+centripetal force
