As we learn

Centrifugal Force -

It is an Imaginary force due to incoporated effects of inertia.

- wherein

It is a fictitious force wich has significance only in rotating frame of reference.

 

And Centripetal Force F is given by

F=4m\pi^{2}n^{2}r

where 

F = Centripetal force

\omega= Angular velocity

n = frequency

 

centripetal force 

F = \frac{mv^{2}}{R} = \frac{1*4^{2}}{1} = 16N
