Ayla hangs a 7.5 kg bowling ball from the ceiling by a rope of negligible mass. The rope will break if the tension in the rope exceeds 115 N. What minimum force must Ayla's dog Rufus exert on the bowling ball to break the rope.

>41.5N

Explanation:

Mass of bowling ball = 7.5kg

Breaking point of rope = T > 115N

Where T = Tension on the rope

Since the bowling ball is hung by a rope :

Tension (T) = mg = 7.5 kg × 9.8m/s^2 = 73.5kgm/s^2

T = mg + ma

F = ma

T = mg + F

>115 = 73.5 + F

F = 115 - 73.5

F = 41.5N

Force >41.5N

the moving of the box is a result of centripetal force. think of that  as a car or a truck in this case creates a turn, the force of friction performing upon the turned wheels of the car runs centripetal force obligatory for circular motion for the things inside it.
