To find the mass of the ball, we can use the formula for centripetal force:
where:-
is the centripetal force,-
is the mass of the ball,-
is the velocity of the ball,-
is the radius of the circular path.Given:-
-
-
We need to solve for
:
Substitute the given values into the equation:
Calculate the denominator:
Now, substitute back into the equation:
Therefore, the mass of the ball is
