In order to answer this question, we are going to look for the radial force ratio. Radial force usually means a force used in a radial way in the direction of the center or away from the centre. So to solve this, the computation is: Radial forces ratio = n2^2/n1^2 = (605/436) ^2 = 1.93 is the answer.
