    For circular motion we know that

    F=ma=v^2/r

    Therefore:

    v = sqrt (rma)

    Also, for cicular motion:

    rev/min. = 60v / (2r*pi)

    So your equation is:

    rev./min = 60sqrt (rma) / (2pi*r)

    For the mass (m) we can just use 1 kg.

    rev./min = 60sqrt (730*1*9.8) / (2pi*730) = 60sqrt (7154) / (4584.4)

    rev./min = 60sqrt (7154) / (4584.4) = 1.11 rev/min

    the answer is 1.11 rev/min
