    The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation,

    Fc = mv²/r

    where m is the mass, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.

    Substituting the known values,

    Fc = (112 kg) (8.9 m/s) ² / (15.5 m)

    = 572.36 N

    Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.
