I think a,b,c is 4 and d is 64.

sshayer · Answer

$$centripetal~force =\frac{ mv^2 }{ r }$$
a. when the mass is doubled ,force is doubled.
b. when speed is doubled force is 2^2 i.e., 4 times the original force.
c.twice the length ,centripetal force becomes half the original

sshayer · Answer

d.$$f=\frac{ 2m \left( 2v \right)^2 }{ 2r }=4\frac{ mv^2 }{ r }=4* original force.$$

thanks, could  you help with one more question? @sshayer

sshayer · Answer

sure, i will try if i could.

Megan rides a horse at the outer edge of a merry-go-round. She is located 6 m from the central axis and is a bit frightened of the speed. So her parents place her on a horse 3 m from the axis. While on the inner horse, how will her linear speed compare with her speed on the outer horse?
