### Problem 7:

A small body of mass 3 kg revolves uniformly in a circle on a horizontal frictionless surface attached by a cord 0.2 m. The cord is connected to a pin set in the center of the surface. If the body makes 4 revolutions in 2 seconds:

**a. Find the centripetal force.**

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the velocity of the body.**
2. **Use the centripetal force formula to find the force.**

#### 1. Calculate the velocity of the body:

Given:
- Number of revolutions, \( n = 4 \)
- Time taken, \( t = 2 \) seconds
- Radius of the circle, \( r = 0.2 \) meters

First, find the angular velocity (ω):
\[ \omega = \frac{2\pi \times n}{t} = \frac{2\pi \times 4}{2} = 4\pi \, \text{rad/s} \]

Next, calculate the linear velocity (v):
\[ v = \omega \times r = 4\pi \times 0.2 = 0.8\pi \, \text{m/s} \]

#### 2. Use the centripetal force formula to find the force:

The centripetal force (F) is given by the formula:
\[ F = m \times \frac{v^2}{r} \]

Substitute the given values:
- Mass \( m = 3 \) kg
- Velocity \( v = 0.8\pi \) m/s
- Radius \( r = 0.2 \) meters

\[ F = 3 \times \frac{(0.8\pi)^2}{0.2} \]
\[ F = 3 \times \frac{0.64\pi^2}{0.2} \]
\[ F = 3 \times 3.2\pi^2 \]
\[ F = 9.6\pi^2 \, \text{N} \]

Thus, the centripetal force is approximately \( 9.6\pi^2 \, \text{N} \), which simplifies to:

\[ F \approx 94.48 \, \text{Newtons (N)} \]

Therefore, the centripetal
