The discussion centers on solving a centripetal force problem using the equations f = mg and N = mw²R. The user seeks validation for their method and answer, which differs from the provided solution sheet. The consensus is that the user's calculations are accurate, with the only noted discrepancy being the unnecessary trailing zero in the final answer.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics and centripetal force calculations, as well as educators seeking to clarify common student misconceptions.
Your work all looks correct to me, except that you do not need the trailing 0 in the answer.sens said:Homework Statement
