    Explanation:

    a) ac = r(omega)^2

    where omega = 2.5 rev/s

    r = 0.75 m

    We need to convert rev/s first into rad/s:

    2.5 rev/s × (2pi rad/rev) = 5pi rad/s = omega

    Therefore, the centripetal acceleration ac is

    ac = (0.75 m)×(5pi rad/s)^2

    = 185 m/s^2

    b) Fc = mac

    = (0.5 kg)(185 m/s^2)

    = 92.5 N
