Define centripetal force with its direction.

Two stones of masses $m$ and $2m$ are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in radius $\frac{r}{2}$ and the lighter one in radius $r$. The tangential speed of lighter stone is $n$ times that of the tangential speed of the heavier stone. They are reported to experience the same centripetal force. The value of $n$ is, 

A small block of mass $100 \mathrm{g}$ is tied to a spring of spring constant $7.5 \mathrm{N} {\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$ and length $20 \mathrm{cm}.$ The other end of spring is fixed at a particular point $A.$ If the block moves in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular velocity $5 \mathrm{rad} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$about point $A,$ then tension in the spring is

In the given figure, $a=15 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-2}$ represents the total acceleration of a particle moving in the clockwise direction in a circle of the radius $R=2.5 \mathrm{m}$at a given instant of time. The speed of the particle is

If the kinetic energy of a particle of mass $m,$ performing uniform circular motion in a circle of radius $r,$ is $E,$ find the acceleration of the particle.
