A hammer thrower spins with an angular velocity of 1700°/s. The distance from the thrower's axis of rotation to the hammer head is 1.2 m. The hammer has a mass of 7 kg.
(a) What is the linear (tangential) velocity of the hammer head? Describe the direction of the velocity.
(b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the hammer head? Describe the direction of the centripetal acceleration.
(c) What is the centripetal force that the thrower must exert on the hammer?
