Dominic is the star discus thrower on South's varsity track and field team. In last year's regional competition, Dominic whirled the 1.6 kg discus in a circle with a radius of 1.1 m, ultimately reaching a speed of 52 m/s before launch. Determine the net force acting upon the discus in the moments before launch.
