The amount of centripetal force it takes for a softball pitcher to rotate a ball will be 1.661 N.
The force needed to move a body in a curved way is understood as centripetal force. This is a force that can be sensed from both the fixed frame and the spinning body's frame of concern.
The centripetal force is found as;
[tex]\rm F_C= \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\ \rm F_C= \frac{.12 \times (3)^2}{.65} \\\\ F_C=1.661 \ N[/tex]
Hence,the amount of centripetal force it takes for a softball pitcher to rotate a ball will be 1.661 N.
