How do i solve this problem. I've been trying to figure it out for the longest time i don't understand it! Please explain to me how to do this!

"An object has a mass of 2kg. It is being swung in a circular path. The speed of the mass is 2m/sec.

-A. What is the force applied to keep the object moving in a circular path?
B. What is the period of rotation?
C. What is the centripetal acceleration of the mass.

One thing we are missing is radius of the path

Centripital force or the is due to centripital acceleration
a=V^2/R
this force is
F=ma

Let's ussume we know the radius then

A. The =force applied that keeps the object moving is 0
The centripital force is F=ma=mV^2/R

B. The perion of rotation = time for one revolution

S=2PiR
where Pi - 3.14...
t=T=S/V=2PiR/V

C. already derived
a=V^2/R
