The centripetal force acting on a 1.5 kg mass moving in a circular path is 27N
A centripetal force is a net force acting on an object in order to maintain the object's movement in a circular motion.
According to Newton's first law, it states an object will continue to proceed its movement in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
The centripetal force is the external force at work here and It's the net force that propels the object in a circular motion.
Using the formula for calculating centripetal force:
[tex]\mathbf{F_c = mass (m) \times acceleration (a)}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{F_c = 1.5 \ kg \times18 \ m/s^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{F_c = 27 \ N}[/tex]
