A 50-kg ice skater spins about a vertical axis through her body with outstretched arms. She makes 2 turns each second. The distance from one hand to the other is 1.60 m. Each hand makes up approximately 1.25% of the body weight.

Ok, the above is my problem,
what I have so far is..
.625(mass)*12.57(angular velocity)/.8(radius)
Â
To concerns, do I divide by radius? All the answers I looked up multiply by .8, but the formula clearly states m*v^2/r for force?
And do I convet kilograms to grams for this problem? Or just keep it kg all the way.
Â
Thanks for your help, hope this all makes sense!
